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.

    That one is great as it is all EV - no crowd singalong.

    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?
