    Any version that excludes boom.

    So true. That organ just ruins that song. And the organ/guitar battle....ugh

    is this a joke, i assume???

    Bump this!

    Can we please get a definitive list...

    Firstly Ed needs to nail all his vocal parts without changing the melody too much and not sounding rushed or out of breath. Also 0 crowd singing or parts. Then obviously the longest ripping jams.

    Also exclude all 2005 shows as the bootleg quality on this tour was especially awful. Even 2010 sounds bit shite.

    2003 ones are sounding cool, always different melodies etc.

    You probably have only heard the mp3s from 2005 as opposed to the 16 bit stereo flac files that are now available from this whole tour.

    His eminence has yet to show.

    State College 2003 is great, as is Perth 2003. Best versions are from 2003 IMO. I know the worst, Prague 2012, Ed actually loses his voice during the song. Shambles
    Penn State for sure one of the best versions i'm biased since i was there but man that was insane ...

    I'm not sure of a particular show, but that song was on fire during '03.

    The best is April 28, 2003 Philadelphia Spectrum. 

    opened with it for the very first time surprising everyone.  Eddie’s voice sounds amazing.  “Crazy” way to start a terrific show.

    I really like this one--great way to open a show. Used to listen to this boot all the time. May have to dig it out.

    Grand Rapids 06 for me. It's the best I've heard but admittedly, I haven't heard every live performance they have done.

    agree this is my fav too. love how low it gets during the 'into the house of mary' line and the killer Ed groans and moans at end before the solo's.

    Studio Version :)
    I hadn't heard the studio version in years until it came on Sirius this weekend. I was absolutely flawed at how perfect that song sounds.
    IMHO, the studio version of "Crazy Mary" is the best thing Pearl Jam has ever committed to tape.

    I mean this with love. I've been on this board 19 years, and that's the craziest thing I've ever read on here. I mean, I frequent the Moving Train most often here and you wouldn't believe the shit I've read there. But your post takes the cake.

    Its top 5.  You can hear the air in the room. That’s awesome to me.  Gives me chills

    I remember hearing a "demo" version of it, has someone counting at the beginning and a a bit of a different feel.  Anyone else hear this?
