    Oceans-Greenville, SC 98
    Baba O'Riley-NYC I 03

    Berlin 2006 - Black
    Dublin 2006 - Animal, Indifference
    Dusseldorf 2007 - Brain Of J (eds voice went all the way back to 1998 for that version)
    SBE 09 - Present Tense

    Copenhagen 2007 comes to mind. Many of the songs that night took on new levels of emotion, there were many heart-wrenching moments at this show. Opening with the Long Road, while not technically the best performance, was probably the most surreal, emotionally devastating things ive witnessed at any concert.

    Love Reign Oer Me, Light Years, Black and Love Boat Captain...the band members were crying and Eddie frequently had to stop singing. The whole setlist was filled with songs of loss, it fits the thread i think. Not technically gifted performances, but no one in that room will forget them.

    Leatherman from Barrie '98 is the best version by far :-)

    The jam and speech in the middle made it the best.
