    So Cool to see this post come up today...

    Berlin, Germany 2010.....

    had the boot since last year and finally herd it just yesterday...

    long story short...Kufala sent me the wrong boot...which was this Berlin one...i already own it...

    so they said to keep it and they'd get my original order'd one to me asap...

    So i carefully pick, of my pj friends, whom would actually jam it the most...to give it too...

    I decided my sis whom is dating someone new and he's a pj fan as well...

    i note songs on the back as favs that if he doesn't know...he must learn (gave him homework, basically)..

    then decided, i must jam this one now so i'll know the show as well and got to the version of Black yesterday...

    and wow...gotta be up there with one of the best...vocally, musically, crowd involvement...you name it...

    so...of course...Berlin,...you got a goodie....and thanks for readin...

    but I was reminded of the MTV Unplugged and Eddie being so young and soooo intense - gets me everytime.

    My all time favorite is Champaign 2003. The crowd singing that night was off the charts.

    It may be obscure but check out St. Louis '03. Best version I have ever heard - talk about a guitar crying!

    Benny Hall- when the crowd takes over for the "I know some day..." part.....words can't explain how beautiful that sounds.

    however, I really love the newer versions with the crowd singing do do do do do do do very softly

    I've been to a shit ton of shows and, obviously, heard Black a lot. But my fave is Chicago '98. So spectacular!
    Honorable mention: Philly show 4, PJ20 2, St.John's 2 and a few more thrown in too.

    fuckin great version..


    and Mike solo????

    its like he take your sad feelings with his guitar and give them a take off...

    Live on 2 Legs
    Verona 2000
    Indy 2000....my first show, the notes from 5:32-41 just bring home the solo so perfectly
    St. Louis 03 is specatacular, the delay manipulation at the end is such a great touch, Lubbock 2000 is another that he does something similar that always makes me think of a space ship taking off.

    I think the Unplugged version is terribly overrated...Give me the emotion of a Mike solo every time over the We Belong Together tag.

    The Poor Girl tag at PJ20 was cool for a change of pace as far as vocal tags go.
