Best version of Yellow Ledbetter

Looking for opinions on the best version of Yellow Ledbetter. One that combines a great vocal from Ed and great guitar work from Mike. Ideally I'd like a version that has a tag or two (Star Spangled Banner, Little Wing).

Who has suggestions?

    Poorly edited video. Audio and video don't match up, and may not even be video from the same show, but this audio is from Tibetan Freedom Concert 97. Classic.

    There were so many good ones in Europe on the Binaural tour I'd say probably one of them? The Gorge 1 in 06 with the instrumental Little Wing/Star Spangled Banner tag was amazing. I wish I could find the youtube clip where Mike pauses during the intro to Little Wing, Matt's drums come in and just as the band ease into it and the crowd realise it's more than a short tag you hear the taper or someone close to him say, "Oh my God!" It was really that special and I love that on the boot you hear the crowd's excitement level going up to fever pitch. I still much prefer it to the full version with vocals the next night. YL needs to be aired every 4 or 5 shows as opposed to almost every show as it has lost a little of the magic it had when it wasn't almost guaranteed to end the set. I still love it though! :D

    Mike throws in the little riff from Bad by U2 and the cowboy song.
    Cool little version.

    Actually really like the NYC '08 version. Great Star Spangled Banner tagged to it and Ed's voice sounds great. Think I may like it even more than the Live at the Garden '03 version.
