    i'd say that the benaroya hall version i don't know the year, i think 2000.
    its awsome, especially when the people sang the last part, it gives me creeps each time i hear it
    post your opinion
    Totally Totally agree with you! Don't you think he's got a voice that is different, more softer that usual, really sweet? I think it's 2003 though!

    Im really surprised no one is mentioning MANSFIELD 2003. Its very very high quality in every way : Ed's singing (including long Beeeeee 16 seconds), and Mike's solo is just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

    My personal favorite..I was at that...I've heard Mrseille and Pistioa from the European leg...great vesions but Ottawa 05 is still my favorite

    A friend pointed me to the Ottawa, 2005....wow....hauntingly beautiful....powerful...he captures the agony of loss when he does the tag:

    You are the stars in the sky
    Thought you were up in mine
    Still I wonder
    I wonder
    I wonder
    You're so long gone
    We've all come alone
    Still I wonder
    Still I wonder
    With each breath I know you're there
    Somewhere
    I wonder
    I still wonder


    It's like he's dry-heaving his pain, live and without emotional reservation. I'm speechless.

    Does anyone havea link to the version where he mumbles somthing about, "it's her birthday today" just before he sings "Black"?

But there is clearly a distinction to be made between valid confidence or self-esteem, and conceit - which we can describe as an inflated sense of importance, grounded in a false image of self.

    Though there are many many versions i really like, three special ones come to my mind... unplugged, Berlin 2006 and Lisbon 2007...

    °unplugged has already been described here...i agree with you :)

    °I was in Berlin 2006 I was and I am still so touched by

    "time heals the wounds
    no one can see...
    ...but my memories
    my memories won't let me be...
    ...
    we belong together..."

    It reminded and reminds me of a situation I'm still in...can't get out...don't want to get out...wanna get out...like a vicious circle...so gimme the Berlin boot on vinyl and I maybe will get rid of these demons by spinning the black circle...

    When hearing the Grand Rapids 2006 version of RVM I was really enthusiastic about the link between these two songs when Eddie was improvising these lines in the middle of RVM adding "I will forgive!"

    °Lisbon 2007: first time Eddie was using rougher words in the improv, that touched me also in a different way, like: these feelings (love and hate) maybe also belong together...

    "what could it been... (etc.)
    fuck you and [...? - can't understand]
    ..."


    ...BUT ALSO THE HAMBURG 2000 version is great, not just because I was there...it was maybe the first time (?) that the "du du dut dut du du duuu.." was taken over by the audience so loudly and long...

    I don't like the Benaroya Hall version...in my opinion Eddie's voice is not at it's best (sounds like he's fighting with it) and the reverb caused by the location makes me sick...

    So far,

    I can't agree more, some other guy thought this part was ruining the song because of the melodramatic character of the song, but I don't think the crowd singing the last part makes this a happy love-song, I think we all know what this song is about, and that makes so wonderful...man i wish i was there...
