OK, bootleg listeners

Let's hear it, what's your vote for best live version of Crown of Thorns?

Preferably y'know, if you've heard more than one version. On the bootlegs, I mean.

Just curious. I could probably listen to Pearl Jam play it all day.

Thoughts?

    I thought that MSG 1, 2003 was special. And I believe Wachovia Center 2005 was an overall great show as well. I was at both these shows when they played it so I may be biased. But MSG was such a special show at that time. I believe someone posted these boots somewhere.

    with all due respect, the "best Porch?" thread made sense.

    COT has been played live a grand total of 14 times. Do we really need to pick the best? ;)

    I've heard it live a couple times.

    The San Diego 2006 was pretty special.

    That whole show was special.

    I guess it should be easier to pick 1 out of just 14...

    After going to a shitload of shows, I finally got to hear this badboy in Philly. It rocked. However, as far as the best version, I would have to go with Vegas 2000.

    I've been fortunate to see this song played 3 times and my favorite is Philly '05.

    Funny thing is when I burned the bootleg somehow Crown of Thorns got recorded twice, not a problem for me! ;)
