Try to be objective. What do you consider the best version ever? A lot of people will say a version they saw (for me Hartford 08). But what do you think is the best ever?

I say Melbourne 98.

Whatcha got?

    That's the one where he really wailed the acoustic solo, right? I was thinking it was either Benaroya or Boston 3 2003 but I think you're right. This is best by far.

    Benaroya. That is a classic show period.

    Agreed :thumbup: Love this version. Benaroya Hall comes close.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    Loved it in Manchester last year which was marginally better than when I saw it in Berlin 10 purely for Mike. Some nice versions mentioned and I'd have to add Berlin 00, Hamilton 11 and Osaka 95 (I think it was Osaka anyway but it had a great improv). Berlin 00 had the same intro as IIC dvd and Hamilton 11 is simply a McCready masterclass. One of my top 10 songs every time.

    I've seen it 3 times and from the ones I've seen, Hartford 2008. Something about being on the lawn that night, with the clouds out, and looking up at the dark sky as Mike plays his solo. Something magical about that one.

    From the versions I've heard, I really love Buenos Aires 2011 version.

    Looking forward to hearing the Brooklyn 2 and Hartford 2013 versions when they become available!

    There was one from the Japan run of shows in 2003 that was almost eight minutes long and had a great jam at the end.

    Immortality > Alive, Seattle 2000. I don't know if people knew it was coming or not, but it seems to be a great tension builder into the explosion that is Alive, played for the first time since the Europe tour.

    Adding my vote for Benaroya. Mike's solo takes it to a different plane.
