Anyone have a favorite performance from all the released bootlegs of Present Tense? Such an amazing, powerful song. I have a few bootlegs with live versions that all sound great but was wondering if there was one bootleg with a definitive live version. Thanks!!

    Couldn't agree more, coincidentally I was listening to that bootleg a little while ago (particularly this song)! I was at both those shows. phenomenal version.

    DC 2006.
    Ed says "all encompassing trip" instead of you know what (which makes it easier to share as a favorite song with in-laws. LOL
    Also, Mike plays a little outro solo. I think he does that more lately, but back then it was new and I've always loved this version.

    Version from Chicago 2 2006 is awesome. Crowd really takes over for the chorus.

    Haven't listened to the boot yet but it was amazing in Greenvile.

    That one is great as it is all EV - no crowd singalong.
  • fgdanzifgdanzi Posts: 139
    I agree with the version in Moline.

    Mansfield 7/2/03 is one of my faves.

    I love how he adds a few words/lines to parts

    seems that needlessly it's getting harder and clear
    to find an approach and a way to live
    I need to know, are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Agree with Moline. Top 5 song for me too.

    Nothing beats London ON, July 2013. Opening song, only Canadian date, 110 degreees in that arena. It was magical.
