anything from '69 through '73 beats all the versions since then in my opinion. The Stripped version is nice though. The Ya Ya's version is excellent of course and it always great in '72/'73 but my absolute favorite is probably New York 7/26/72. I know many people have already mentioned this one but it's just so good.
Then in '72 and Australia '73, he played the first solo with a slide and the second without. I do know of at least one exception though. In the first Philadelphia show of '72 (7/20/72), he played both solos with a slide instead of using a slide on just the first as he normally did in '72. Anybody else notice this?

He played slide for both solos a number of times in '72. Toronto 2d show is another example. Following the tour through '72 reveals a guitarist who lets the night, the mood, etc. determine his playing on most songs. However, even with such a high standard throughout the tour, 7/26/72 is exceptional and remains my favorite.

For me the ya-ya's version is hard to beat, however....
My favorite recent version is from the Staples Centre, Los Angeles, Halloween 2002. Ronnie plays the most amazing lap steel solo ever!
Everything about this solo is so perfect. The tone is to die for!!!
Keith was so impressed that he walked up to him, peered over his shoulder and gave him a big kiss. Ronnie then span round on his stool like a very happy child!
There is both audio and dvd boots of this in circulation and I cannot recommend these enough. The dvd is ever so slightly out of sync but it's not too bad.

I *think* Keith is saying that he didn’t get the right arpeggio, but he (purposefully?) butchers the word. Some kind of inside joke with Ronnie, I’m guessing.
