I am ridiculously into Severed Hand right now and was wondering what some of your favorite versions are? I absolutely love the song and usually listen to it right before I start work, it just gets me pumped up! I love the guitar work on the song. Easily my favorite S/T song.

What versions are the best?

Thanks! I saw it played the 99th and 100th time and both were AWESOME! but there has gotta be some other cool versions.

    Love this song too! It rocks hard :twisted:

    Lisbon '06 is really good. Hard to find a bad version really. I do like the fade in at the beginning though.

    I love the Jools Holland performance. Mike just rocks that solo...

    Torino 2006 is my pick, Mike and Matt are well fired up and it's the only time I'm aware of the whole S/T album was played start to finish. It's on pearljambootlegs.org if you don't have it.

    Agree: Great song.
    In avocado the first three songs plus Comatose really rocks.
    But Severed Hand is great to test the bands performance and I do not think that there are any band that can do it such high levels in concerts. No need to remind the ages of our guys!..
    I can not find that much energy in Backspacer although it is a great album:)

    Without doubt the best version is Zagreb 2006. It opened the show and its just fierce.

    Kind of depends which version do you like, the pre-recorded track opening like on the album, or Eddie starting it on his guitar?

    Can't stand the pre-recorded intro live. Seems like cheating. Themusical equivalent of Britney's lipsynch!
