V '08? It has nothing special imo.

 

I think the mix on the YT vid doesn't do it justice musically, although it's nice to hear the synth for once, and I've always liked it for Matt's mad jumping and crouching at the end. (The whole performance also looks very sexy)

 

Having said that though I'd back Reading 2006 or the Abbey Road performance from the day after it as better than all mentioned so far.

 

And best performance of NB is Glasto or Reading 2011

Imo this New Born is better.

 

Needs more intro guitar wanking, and I don't like Matt's improvs.

 

Weird trivia: I noticed recently that NB only slows down after the riff. During riffage it's around 153-ish bpm, but at Glasto 04 for e.g. it slowed to 150 for the verse. At this one above it drops to 147, and at some point on the TR tour it dropped further to 145-ish. These were all performed with metronome, so the tempos are deliberate.

 

Studio version maintains the same tempo throughout... I don't understand.

The BDO one's not bad at all, but like the Rock am Ring one and I think the Pinkpop one, it's still quite light/daytime so it loses the effect.

 

Glastonbury is just so dark and creepy, with the masses of green lights plus the absolutely enormous outro they stick on the end :awesome:.
