Yellow Ledbetter

Ended up turning into:

- Hamburg 2000-06-26

YL must've been a tough one as it varies so much with Ed and Mike both winging it each time, just interested as to why Hamburg got the nod.

I wasn't happy with any on the shortlist so started listening to other versions from each year and decided it sounded best on the 2000 tour.

I could have ended up using any number of versions from that year, but the Hamburg one had relatively standardised lyrics, a great vibe, no flubs, and a nice outro. It was the version chosen for the Touring Band 2000 DVD extras, and this is a rare example of them choosing well (it was also remixed for the DVD so this is a rare chance to hear Jeff on the European tour )

Saratoga 2000 had Nobody’s Fault But Mine attached to the end of Yellow Ledbetter and I always enjoyed that.

Cool - thanks for the insight

Really enjoying the choices so far, thanks for all the work on this Brad

Betterman with Romanza plus full SIFL, please.

I like that the selection of tracks from Ten and Vs didn't include tags of covers on Daughter and Yellow Ledbetter.

Would like to see that continue with Betterman please.

Definitely a good argument for that. Note that Porch and Rats both contained tags, but that was unavoidable due to the lack of similar quality versions without them.

I was thinking of perhaps including faded-in versions of common tags on the covers disc, to include It's Okay, SIFL (there's a near full version after Better Man finished from Chicago 2006 I believe), etc.

I'd settle for Romanza w/o SIFL.

Thank you Brad

We'll never not play Boise again.

Do any of the proposed versions of Immortality have that beautiful little intro that Ed sometimes plays?

Big fan of that.

Yup - Berlin, Toronto and Adelaide all do

SiFL is basically the latter third of Betterman. I hope it is included.

Better Man from MSG 5/21/10. I thought this was just an unbelievable performance of the song.

Damn, that last exit from Calgary is nice! Not sure I've heard that before

Monkey_Driven wrote:I'd add the TB2k version of Long Road too.

This. I have always enjoyed this version.

Immortality from Benaroya Hall gets my vote.

Not For You from Soldier Field is classic. Also great MSG 5/21/10 but has the Modern Girl tag.

I somehow remember Tremor Christ being really great during the ‘96 tour.

I think they played Satan’s Bed in Albany in ‘06 as I seem to remember that as a highlight.

Melbourne 95 or 98 have to be contenders? I'll listen to this later and make a further judgement.

The washington version is spectacular. When Eddie sings the first line as per the recorded version its a winner.
