    st. louis, 2003. probably because it was the opener (didn't expect that one) to an amazing show and the best seats i've ever had for a show -- 10 rows back dead center. sounded amazing.

    I'm a fan of the 06 version. In particular the last 06 San Francisco show, I forget the date, got a really good version of Present Tense.

    The less Matt is inovolved throughout the song, the more I like it.

    It is an amazing song which I recently had a newfound appreciation for so I listened to every version of this song on iPod one after the other so I could put the one I like most on a playlist. I really like SF 06 and Denver 06 versions. I have about 12 or so live versions but one are earlier than the 2000 shows. I'd like to hear some from 96 or 98 for sure.
