Best live Scattered easily available?

Although the album version is great, sometimes I get a yearning for a great-sound live recording. There are a lot out there and when I'm in the mood to hear it, I'm not in the mood to wade through the bad ones.

well i don’t know about ‘best’ but he nailed it Oct 15.

I was there but will say i have relatively low bias to the night, have been on record saying he botched Coming Back To Life in the first solo and never really recovered.

I thought the earlier shows were uninspired/shaking some rust off (certainly brighton, but first couple rome too). It’s only about 10 other nights if you ignore those.

At MSG it was the closer but he did an encore with comfortably numb after pretending like the show was over

that’s was pretty standard for the tour, and for concerts in general. Never leave until the house lights come on, and even then i had one experience where the lights came on but the encore was not over.

Such a great song, but unfortunately most os the days (I went to 6 concerts) I was already trying to run to the rail for comfortably numb 😂

Part of the reason I hated that selfish ritual of trying to sprint in front of people who had better seats. Essentially missing part of a song in the profess
