    Nothing beats London ON, July 2013. Opening song, only Canadian date, 110 degreees in that arena. It was magical.

    They were killing it with this song on the 2006 tour. I heard two great versions in cincy and camden that year.

    Manchester 2012 and Moline 2014 (EV sings all of it) are recent performances that come to mind for me.

    This was quite a prescient post. The version they played that night in Toronto was killer.
