    The version from the Summerfest show in 06 is pretty awesome, extended drum intro, and the "hello tom, your name is tom" chant is great as was the "no fuel to burn, no fuel to burnnnnnnnnnnnnnn".

    Sorry didn't go through all the pages, mine had already been listed. Just got home from work and am tired. :oops:
    unplugged
    3/17/95 (Dave Grohl played the drums on this version)

    The one with Neil young at the mtv awards. It's so raw, but bad ass. hearing neil sing lead and Ed do the rocking in the free world chorus under it was pretty sweet. Then Ed sing's "there's a girl in the night verse."

    Merriweather Post Pavilion 2000 when they were about to close with Yellow Ledbetter, Ed stops Mike after a couple of notes. They huddle en masse and change to RITFW...great moment.
