Best Live Versions (Help Needed)

Post by jbfins »

I almost never listened to the live concert broadcasts and I still rarely listen to the RM concert replays. I've now come to realize that I am kind of missing out and I am asking for a little help from some phriends.

First, does anyone know of a particular concert that was just absolutely amazing? Where you can tell that Jimmy and the band were extra special.

Second, how about a version of One Particular Harbour that just shines brighter than others. I love the one from Feeding Frenzy and the acoustic version from Anquilla is insane. Any other version I should know about?

Thank you!

Good questions, and I'd imagine you'll get some great suggestions in this thread. For the first, I'd suggest the Great Woods (Mansfield, MA) shows from 1999. Those have gotten heavy RM replays as well as at least a song or two on the Tuesdays Thursdays Saturdays CD. The band sounds great and locked in.

OPH from the Bora Bora show in 2010 awesome as well...

Feeding Frenzy, is a blended live show from Atlanta and Cincy from 1990. He released a CD version which is prob avavaile on EBay or Amazon cheap. I am also partial to Live at Fenway from 2004 which is also on CD and comes with a DVD from the show.
