CD of one song

If you were to create a CD of 12 different concert versions of one song, what song would it be, and what are some of the concerts you would feature?

For instance, if I was creating a CD of just Yellow Ledbetter, I would definitely include Gorge, #1, 2006 for the Little Wing, and Newcastle 06.

Bottom line - what's your favorite PJ concert song, and what are your favorite versions of that song?

    I would have to go with I Got Id. Include some versions with the Cinnamon Girl tag from 98 and that great howl he began putting on the end. It was so powerful in 98 and 2000. I think he also used to tag other things on the end but I can't remember right now.
    '96 - 10/5
    '98 - 9/1 9/4 9/18
    '00 - 8/6 8/7 8/15 8/17 9/5
    '03 - 4/9 4/15 4/19 7/11 7/12
    '04 - 10/6 10/8
    '05 - 9/11 9/12 9/13 9/15
    '06 - 5/27 5/28 7/7 7/13 7/18 7/22 7/23

    I would agree and say my first choice would be "Porch", solely based on the fact this song has gone through several transformations throughout the years. Early years = Speed Version, Middle Years = Slow intro, Recently = Ed playing guitar on the intro and sometimes throughout the song. This song is also special cause the middle jam is always different and Ed evens adds a tag occasionally, ex: Suck You Dry.

    Three years ago I put together a disk of every Present Tense from the US leg of the 03 tour. I arranged it by date played and noted where it was in the setlist.

    It's a real nice snapshot of where they were then and how they moved it around - still gets a lot of play.

    Cool thread :)

    I would go with "Alive". I'll get back with which ones but this song has really evolved so it would be interesting to start with some early versions and move foward. Maybe end it with the Storytellers version with Ed's explanation of the song.

    The Atlantic City Present Tense is also great!

    Good pick.
