Which Musical Arrangement of APLA40 Do You Prefer?

I'm referring to the musical variations for the "solo", as opposed to the lyrical variation with Redemption Song.
I think this is a tough choice... love them all.

Nothing against Robert, but I think the song lacks a bit without either Fingers or Amy.
Voted for Amy.

As much as I love Amy Lee and Robert, to me, APLAF will always be best with Jimmy and Fingers ...

Look at the below left photo.
And not to go against the grain, but when it comes to Fingers Taylor, I can take him or leave him.

I vote for NONE OF THE ABOVE. Even though I hate it as a closer, I prefer when its just Jimmy on the stool with six string playing it how it should be played.
Bringing in everything else ruins the moot point of the song. Its suppose to be a single persons response, bringing in a bunch of people just totally ruins the song to me.

Can't argue with that!

One of the best versions of Pirate I ever heard was an instrumental version a few years ago at Jones Beach. It was just Amy on the sax and Robert on the pans.

I have heard Jimmy do the song with many different accompanists
I have heard many people do the song
As long as Greg is on the harp, the song sounds 'right' to me
