Favourite Version Of "Echoes"
Yeah, I know, it's probably been done before, but just in case.

The studio one..the only one I've heard, besides the one that got massacred on the compilation of the same name
Snake, history will never know what she did. No one will ever learn the truth. Her story... her debriefing... will endure only in your heart. Everything she did, she did for her country. She sacrificed her life and her honor for her native land. She was a real hero. She was a true patriot. ~ EVA re: The Boss (MGS3)

What about Live at Pompeii?

That's my favourite version.

I don't like how it's broken into two parts, that's my only complaint with Pompeii's

RTN's version is awesome! The whole band was brilliant on it!

I agree about Pompeii's version being broken apart.....that's just wrong. The version on 'Echoes' is a travesty, and those persons responsible should hang their heads in shame!

I choose Meddle, simply because Rick and Dave's voices sound so beautiful there.

(Then again, studio tinkering may have taken part in it)

I voted for the original studio version. Nothing else can touch it. How can you outdo what's perfect?

But I did have a RoIO that had both sax and the gals on it that was excellent.

RE: Favourite Version Of "Echoes"
even though Pompeii is broken up, i'd say it's still the best performance. Dave's guitar solo in the Pompeii version is the best ever on Echoes. The guitar solo is better than the studio version on Pompeii, which gives it the edge. Every version is spectacular except i did not like the 1975 tour with saxophone.
I think he re-gifted and then he de-gifted and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp!
