Favorite Live Versions of Given To Fly?

edited April 2023 in The Porch
Tomorrow, I am starting the process of getting a full sleeve tattoo based on the lyrics of Given To Fly, which was played at my son's funeral back in 2010 (and one line was included in his obituary). I want to make a playlist to listen to tomorrow while my artist is doing all of the black line work, and I want to make every fifth or so song is a different live version of Given To Fly. I know and love the versions from Inglewood 1998 (from LO2L), St. Louis 2000, and Chicago 2000, but I want to source ideas from the rest of you for other great versions. Thanks in advance!

(...and don't think I've forgotten about your generosity all those years ago, @mfc2006! I still have your old Yield tour shirt with the birds, and both my wife and I have tattoos based on that design. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart.)

    Hey man!! You bet - was happy to do that! Awesome idea for a playlist. The playlist idea is great!

    One of my favorites is from Austin 2009. That was my wife's first time seeing PJ and about halfway though the song, she leans in and says "Wow...I get it now. This is amazing!"

    Maybe not their best version, but it means a lot to me. Hope y'all are doing well!

    I always loved the manchester 2000 version. Maybe because of how they did the lighting that night. Softer parts were done with no lights on the standing floor. Then as it picked up pace, the lights were turned on with the crowd going crazy, looked like the sea with the waves building into a storm and then all of a sudden, calm again and so on. Loved it

    Opening version from Night 2 at Wrigley 2018.

    With the delay, the rain, and the rush to get back to the pit... this version was ELECTRIC.

    I still get goosebumps listening to it.  <3  Great idea!

    Went and watched the R&R HOF one earlier today.  Such a cool moment.

    Night 2 at Wrigley is also a favorite.

    Love this one from Jones Beach 3, with the slight lyric change "and I still give my love I just give it away..."
