Been a ton of great mentions I'll add one more. Hamburg 2000. Mike's solo hits all the right notes and then stone gets into this little groove over the crowd with Mike noodling. Its fairly unique and I keep coming back to it. Good thread.0

Definitely Atlanta’94 (hometown!)
Also, I think Jacksonville 2016 has a Thumbing My Way tag in it. Pretty good version!0 -
So funny - I was just telling a friend a while back that I think a lot of their songs live (specifically from Ten) have morphed and changed over the years. ...And that each tour brought/brings a def performance. Black is a perfect example of that idea.I’d love to see a ‘Best Of’ compilation of Black containing a performance (or two) from each tour (Same for Even Flow & Porch as well).A few other shows that I didn’t see mentioned yet:Charlotte 2003 (1st encore - sooo gorgeous)

Some really great choices here and it's hard to choose a favourite/best (I love benaroya and the crowd sing along, literally chokes me up every time) and while I don't necessarily think it's the best all time I was in the pit in front of Mike in Quebec in 2016 and I remember it being really great and I love watching him in this video of it and the solo is pretty cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slysHzMlcJc (4:20 onwards for close up of Mike)Finsbury Park '92 | Brixton 1 '93 | Wembley 2 '96 | Wembley 1&2 '00 | Reading, Paris '06 | Munich, Wembley '07 | Shepherds Bush, Berlin, Manchester, London '09 | Dublin, Belfast, Hyde Park '10 | Manchester 1&2, Amsterdam 1, Copenhagen, Atlanta '12 | Brooklyn 2, Philly 1&2, LA 1&2 '13 | Amsterdam 1&2, Vienna, Berlin '14 | Central Park, Santiago, Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City '15 | Quebec, Ottawa, Toronto 1&2, Wrigley 1&2 '16 | London 1, Prague, Krakow, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, London 2, Fenway 2 '18 | Oakland 1&2, Berlin, Zurich, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, London 1&2, Budapest, Krakow, Amsterdam '22 | St. Paul 1&2, Chicago 1&2 '23 |0
