I heard a ton about the newfangled Do the Evolution on this Euro tour. So which is the best? I've held back on the boots so far, now I'm itching.

Thanks.

    i saw live all 6 versions with the oh oh oh

    best in the venue was Prague..
    on the boot Berlin 2 - Oslo - Stockholm

    Berlin 2 was the best played and most passioned,..Oslo has great sound and Stockholm is the longest version of oh oh oh

    I've heard Prague and Berlin I and I personally think it sounds terrible at both gigs. Both times the song nearly comes to a standstill because the band lose their way - how can anyone think this is good? Basically both times I've heard it the song has been butchered.

    I'd prefer if they played it the 'normal' way!

    I agree with you, it may be fun if you are there but listening to it it feels like they destroyed the song

    An absolute HIGHLIGHT when you're there!

    Listen to Berlin 2 for a version that doesn't affect the flow of the song.. It's very cool!

    McCready said in the interview from Oslo that it was now up to the band to find a way to integrate it into the song..

    For my money, Manchester 1 had one of the tightest and most energised versions of DTE I've heard in some time, I'd recommend checking it out.

    It's a visceral, angry, sarcastic song - I don't think the singalong really fits the vibe.

    To me it just sounds like Ed has forgot a verse of lyrics and decides to sing 'oh oh oh' instead. I've heard the Prague, Berlin 1 and MIA versions. MIA was the best of those but I still didn't like it.

    no,he didnt forget the lyrics..is an idea start to BA last year and he grab the microphone and he came to edge of the stage and try to pass the way to sing to the crowd..

    I know he hasn't forgot the lyrics (this time, he does it often enough on Evolution though), I said it sounds like he has. And especially at Prague & Berlin 1 the song goes completely wrong. I'm not a fan of this version. I've seen Evolution enough times at the gigs I've been to (7 out of 8) know what I like.

    I'm 8 for 8 with DTE and I've NEVER enjoyed the song more than with the oh oh oh part integrated! Again I have to recommend berlin 2 for a version that keeps the flow of the song intact..
