Hits sound different.
They just do. They have a different zip and flow.
When you play them in a live set there is a redemptive quality to them. It brings it all back.
You can visibly see the crowd go “ahhhhhh”, almost as a sigh of relief, or vindication of their attendance.
An artist can be trucking along in the set, playing a lot of good songs, having a great show, and then they play THAT song and it raises the level of the overall experience.
Hits just sound different. And that sound changes things.
