Best live versions of "Sad"

Okay so I just downloaded San Francisco III and have finally for the first time ever heard "Sad" live and it fucking rocks my socks off. So now I must know, what are the best versions of "Sad"? I love this version but would also love one that does not go right into another song, as this one does with "Light Years."

    SF1 is pretty damn tasty.

    I'd never heard it before I heard them play it at Reading festival. This is one of the songs I listen to most from that bootleg. Live version is sooo much better than the recorded one.

    Just put a bend in the road, I'm growing tired of straight lines...

    As soon as I saw this thread title, I thought "San Fran 3". It is my favourite version, I just love that show as a whole. :D

    Vienna is the best version from the european boots, I'd also add San Francisco 3.

    Yes but San Francisco 3 is connected to the next song. Which standalone version of Sad is the best?

    Don't know if it counts as a live version in your book: AOL Sessions
    Thats the definite version. Every other version blows compared to it.

    Maybe I should be more clear. I want a live version of "Sad" that is on one of the 2005-2006 official live bootlegs. I already have SF3 and would like other great versions.

    The three mentioned above stand out for me too: San Fran, Reading, AOL. They are all quite good.

    LA II is cool. I like how Ed introduces it: "This is a Lost Dog."

    The guy on RM who listened to all the versions from last year's tour for his compilation chose Sad from SF1.

    I really like the Adelaide I version. And it´s also a great place in the set list.
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh see the world.

    I agree with Reading from the 04 Vote for Change tour, first show it was ever played at and they nailed it. yeah i was there :)
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    I've heard them all, ALBANY is by far the best. Seriously, ignore the other messages and go and get Albany.
  • DillsnufusDillsnufus Posts: 1,165
    just go to pearljamlive.com and make your own decisions. I think grand rapids has good vocals but albany is pretty solid.

    Reading, PA was my favorite. The sound quality of the boot I have is pretty bad though.

    Im surprised that no one votes for the versions from the Gorge in 2005 and also Philly from 2005- I think these are the best versions and the best shows period from that year!
    I hold the pain, release me!
