Best "Corduroy" of 2008 tour?

No "homers" here...

I need real critique..
audio performance is the only criteria.. not visuals..

which version has it all?

1) Quality vocals (no mistakes by Ed)
2) Outrageous Mikey solo
3) Matt "Caravan" insane bludgeoning of drums..

I have listened to quite a few and can't decide..

I have one that I think takes it all ...
but I'll wait to see what others suggest..

if you chime in with one,
tell us why it should be "the best" please?

    MSG 2. I love Ed's comment about the stage. I remember the lights and everything bouncing up and down a good 6-8 inches at least.

    Camden 2 is pretty intense, except there is a noise like when you pick above the nut (Eddie was using the wrong tele me thinks). There is a little fuckup to, but other than that its great.

    Mansfield 1. Perfection.

    However, they do need to pick another song as the "we fucked up the rarity, time for the warhorse.." back up. (ala LBC @ Camden, Evacuation @ DC)

    see now Mansfield 1 was my choice ..

    having listened to all of them, that version is balls to the wall perfection..IMO

    but since I went to that show, I wanted to see what other peoples ears told them..and not be a "homer" aka my city rocks!

    to be fair I am going to replay the other ones posted here...and report back..

    thanks for all the responses (well...most of them! :0)

    QFT. I normally either skip or don't pay much attention to Corduroy (nothing to do with how good the song is - it's just on every bootleg, so I've gotten a little tired of it). The Bonnaroo version, though, I love. Highly recommended.
    Hey hey it's okay...

    has anyone played RU and mansfield 1 versions side by side?

    I also want to check out the MSG version and finalize which one is king of the 2008 tour..

    If anyone beats me to it.. please post your critique here..!

    Thanks!

    Wow..

    Listened to all three (MSG , mansfield 1, and Bonnoroo) side by side.

    I have never run into this before but I have to call it a tie between MSG 1 and Mansfield 1..

    I can see an argument being made for either of these..

    The "Roo" version is awesome as well but poorly recorded IMO...

    So if you assert "Roo" is the best, I can't argue with that too much either..

    thanks to all for your epinions!
