What’s the best live version of Pearls Girl that’s out there?
As the title suggests I’m after opinions on everyone’s fav live version of Pearls Girl?
Any versions that might have interesting different structures or that sort of thing? Or any version that just stands out over others? |

Well, I've got a few for you.
First, I decided that the rendition from the Burger Van Man gig (Torhout Werchter 1996) was the best representation of the energy and bleepy bloopiness of that era. Another interesting one is the Hard Vibe/Pearl's Girl/Yard Beat mashup from the X-TRA Club in 2005, just for the sheer uniqueness. My personal favorite is probably a bit biased because I was there that night for the Oblivion Ball in Tokyo 2007. It was a visual spectacle, but there was also a huge energy from the crowd. I don't think it was just me though. You can really see Rick enjoying himself in the video, and as you can see in the comments, H and Karl thought it was pretty good too: https://www.facebook.com/tbangerter/...1122907677752/ |

The performance during the encore of European Club Gig after the incredible Confusion the Waitress is dear to me. During the pads breakdown / peak, with that sparkly synth that's added in live versions, Karl says something like "there is a perfect time for every song. this, is it." and it elevates the whole thing.
The entire Mayan Theater 1998 concert is legendary beyond words - that's a time machine gig if there ever was one - but Pearl's Girl is used as the first track, and they do the intro in a weird way that comes together nicely. |
