Of course the 1973 European tour versions, especially the soundboard one from Empire Pool, make all other versions irrelevant, except those of 69 till 72, because they were the predecessors of that final and orgastic 1973 version.

the live versions of SFM are so much better than the studio...especially 1969-73.
I'd even listen to the recent Hyde Park live version before the studio version.

the 1969 SFM performances on the US Tour were epic.
Didn't Keith used to turn his amp up to full on this number?

Taylor ruined sfm in 73, his overplaying is laughable, you cant even tell what song is being played the last min or so.

I agree
69' was great though
One of the few songs of theirs where I feel both the studio and live versions are fantastic

One of the true masterpieces indeed. It´s just superb, legendary stuff.
Nothing beats the studio version which is just perfect, but there are quite a few very enjoyable live versions around, espescially the Live-Licks-version which is pobably their best ever. Hyde Park 2013 is marvelous for their age, they´re playing like young lions. The early 70s live versions are mostly a bit too far away from the original to be really enjoyable. This song should be played sticking as close as possible to the original arrangement.

Then you should also praise the version you got on your first show in 1990?

how GYYYO! remains their best live release.
And you're of the opinion that Shine a Light has NO or extremely minimal overdubbing? A film directed by a perfectionist like Martin Scorsese?Quote

But it is heavily overdubbed!
You can make almost everything stellar by overdubbing, without technical tricks GYYO would be average at best, I suppose. GYYO: no competition for Shine A Light, which is a true and honest live document without putting on make-up afterwards like they did on GYYYO. How can you know that it is overdubbed and still think it´s their best live album...

IMHO no live version comes near the studio version. Still a "heavy" song when played on the radio.
