Title: Great Live version
Post by: Pottel on August 31, 2009, 06:21:22 PM: i want to use this thread for people to simply add a great performance of a song when they hear one.
i for example was just listening to TOL live in Budapest 85, and god it was a great version!

Post by: boboDS on August 31, 2009, 09:01:14 PM: Six blade knife and In the Gallery - Cologne 17th Feb 1979 (not Rockpalast)
great versions, extended solos never heard anywhere else I guess.

Ride across the river - Stockholm 25th October 1985

Tunnel of Love - Wiesbaden 6th MAy 1981
with very powerful ending solo, also the "fast part of the solo" (with many pullofs, hardto describe with words...) is altered, sounds great, I never heard that anywhere else.

Post by: superval99 on August 31, 2009, 09:33:07 PM: Yes, localhero, that's one of my favourites of the more intimate versions - really beautiful! :)

PS Just had to have another look at the video! Paraguay and BIA - wonderful! :D

And how about Cannibals from Hamburg 96? Love the intro on the 96 tour.
