Re: Tumbling Dice - best live version?

Apart from some rollicking versions from the 72-73 tours I like the enthusiasm from 1978. As far as boots go Memphis 78 is the best from that tour to my ears, however anything on the Handsome Girls set gives the listener the idea of what they were doing on that tour, and Dice was a standout. For me this has always been a Keith song that flourishes when he wants it to. When it was unveiled on the 1972 tour Keith really seemed to bring the intensity level of within the band. You can be seen in Ladies and Gents. A great, great song that just needs the intensity from the players for TD to kick ass live.
