    Benny Hall- when the crowd takes over for the "I know some day..." part.....words can't explain how beautiful that sounds.

    Unplugged hands down

    however, I really love the newer versions with the crowd singing do do do do do do do very softly

    I've been to a shit ton of shows and, obviously, heard Black a lot. But my fave is Chicago '98. So spectacular!
    Honorable mention: Philly show 4, PJ20 2, St.John's 2 and a few more thrown in too.

    fuckin great version..


    and Mike solo????

    its like he take your sad feelings with his guitar and give them a take off...
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

    Berlin 10 was the one to experience..the feeling that created ...you cant feel it seeing you tube or listen the bootleg..
    was only for the ones was at the venue..

    cant describe it..

    I've seen Black 4 times. Best time was Manchester '09, was phenomenal.

    Best I've heard is definitely Benaroya Hall, just an awesome performance.

    Live on 2 Legs
    Verona 2000
    Indy 2000....my first show, the notes from 5:32-41 just bring home the solo so perfectly
    St. Louis 03 is specatacular, the delay manipulation at the end is such a great touch, Lubbock 2000 is another that he does something similar that always makes me think of a space ship taking off.

    I think the Unplugged version is terribly overrated...Give me the emotion of a Mike solo every time over the We Belong Together tag.

    The Poor Girl tag at PJ20 was cool for a change of pace as far as vocal tags go.

    I enjoy the take, but I just think Mike McC says so much more with his guitar.

    Never heard this version, just looked it up and listened. :shock: DAMN that was good!! Raw and beautiful and powerful, and everything that a good 'Black' should be! LO2L is still my favorite but this performance is definitely one of their best! Thanks for the suggestion!

    Dark Horse contender with some of the greats: San Jose '95.

    I love LO2L, Ottawa '05, Unplugged, Benaroya, Boston '00, and a ton of great versions...and San Jose '95 is right up there. Mike goes nuts.

    +1.

    Great suggestions, some I haven't got, but that'll change now, thank you all.
    Love the way the band changes up different versions of my favourite song, all done with the most heartfelt emotion. Fantastic.

    Being at Alpine it was pretty incredible. Interesting to see what it sounds like on a good quality boot

    Memphis 2000. Sounds very close to the Lo2L but better

    Have to go with one I saw live so I'll say Alpine. Special significance as well because my friend that I shared tickets with had traveled to the States 3 times over the years from the Dominican Republic to see PJ. It's his favorite song and he finally got to see it at PJ20, so that just added to an already incredible version.

    Hands down, April 23, 2003. Champaign, IL. The entire night was MAGIC. However, that version of Black will haunt me FOREVER. Can't explain it, still have a difficult time wrapping my head around it. Yet there it was. Pure. Simple. Complicated. Breathtaking. Majestic. Unadulterated Pearl Jam at their finest.

    and of course the version is at a very special place..
