IMHO, nothing beats "Last Stop: This Town" (Jools Holland 1998)  :)

That version of "Manchester Girl" is gorgeous, been meaning to post that vid myself; it sounds much better than the BTS version, stripped of that overdone studio production. And that laid-back "My Beloved Monster" is great.

Also: "Ugly Love". Don't think anything needs to be said about this one.

Also, I remember this being posted in last year's tour thread, but it's great not just for the performance, but the crowd reaction.

I remember watching that when it aired. Absolutely loved it.


Not Ready Yet is a great song.


Correct.

Yes it is. I remember seeing it when it was broadcast. Fab version, I've always really loved it. But...

Good, but I prefer this version.

Yes! I loooooove this arrangement. Although I think it comes over better in this vid, probably cos the piano is louder.

"I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" is a great cover. But my favorite live song is and always will be, yes, "Brave Little Soldier". It's so spirited and positive. It's one of E's best songs.

I have a great live recording if anyone hasn't heard it yet. I can share it later today.

What's the instrument at 0:08?

The arrangement in this one is better than the one from Jools Holland, but I like E's singing a lot more in the latter.
