After re-watching Storytellers this evening, i'm totally in love with that version of "Here's to the State of Mississippi". It's absolutely beautiful.

I've always loved Ed's cover of 'Let My Love Open The Door' from Carnegie Hall in '94 for Roger Daltrey's birthday. I used to have the mp3 of it but i seem to have misplaced it. It wasn't filmed as far as i know, but i'd love to see a video of this performance one day. Ed completely nails it.

I also have to mention 'No More' from Nijmegen '07. For me, this is the definitive version of the song. It was still such a new song but there were about 40,000 people treating it as if it were an old classic. The audience participation for this one was just insane. And good ol' Ed really belted it out too; you could tell he was feeling it.

Feel free to post some of your own personal favourites!

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    Masters of War at the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary concert has got to be one of the most powerful performances - of any song, by anyone - I've ever heard.

    I almost sung it louder than Ed, and was rewarded with his guitar pic, lol (I was right in front of him at the stage)..all about The Who baby!

    Agreed, it is fucking Amazing. Just Mike and G.E. Smith as Ed's backing band if I recall. Oh, man I love that version. :D

    I also really liked Tracy Chapman's version of "the times they are A changin" as well from that show.

    You should hear the version he played at Sleater-Kinney's last show. And the reception it got from a S-K audience. Amazing.

    Both the solo shows in LA in 2002 (Royce Hall & Wiltern) are unbelievable, in particular the new uke songs - You're True, Satellite, Goodbye, Broken Heart & Longing to Belong (although the last one is not quite solo).
