Alive is my favourite song, and i love the live versions of it. Wich version do you think is the best? I really like when Ed goes "yeah! yeah! yeah!" during the solo.
I'm thinking Atlanta 1994-04-03, what is yours?

    I personally think....the best live version i've actually SEEN is on the immagine in cornice dvd....even though Ed does bust his ass during the solo

    Philly 10-3-05 or grand rapids 2006

    Older versions of alive cannot compare to 03+ versions. Mike plays the solo much much better and longer in later versions, matts drumming compliments the "yeas"/fist pumps, and they actually end it good unlike old versions.

    but it seems like matt always messes up the drums right before the "is something wrong she said" line. It always bugs me listening to him play it, but other than that, he does it very well

    London, Ontario 2005....is the best, don't listen to anyone that tells you otherwise

    Milan 2006 is a distant 2nd

    but the best is London 2005...best version ever, and for those that have heard it all agree

    haha...messing up? thats him turning the beat around. He is a master at odd time signatures, thats him trying to change something easy around. I actually LOVE it when he does that.
