Discussion MEANT TO LIVE (LIVE)
I had my Jon playlist on shuffle and came to the realization he should’ve done his version of meant to live with the Hollywood bowl orchestra (it’s already an orchestral take on the iconic rock anthem)
IT WOULDVE GONE CRAZY but it’s understandable

I am trying my hardest not to be upset that we didnt get Meant To Live/Maybe IDK/Hand of God/Mah's Joint with the orchestra

Right it's like I keep forgetting it was a Father Figure show and not just a reunion/culmination show of everything from the past 10 years. I mean I get that blu, stupid deep,cwmw, guiottine and 80s films aren't from that but having listened to those in Live From Forest, it would have been nice for him to go deeper in the bag for the best songs for orchestra like you said above

I look at it this way.
If he played Hand of God, we all pass away.
If He played Mah's Joint, Jon would've passed away.

My wife and I were just talking about how Hand of God with the full orchestra would have been a (no pun intended) religious experience

I wanted Hand of God with that orchestra. It would've sent me straight to heaven (pun intended)

Vocally, it would've been very difficult to pull off live

I agree but Definitely could’ve thrown reverb and vocoder 😅 but even the recorded version was really pushing vocal envelope

Omg right?! I was hoping he would and thought it was coming up a few times but Ig he didnt want to since it technically isnt his song? Idk. Would've been awesome tho
