Empty Room - which version is the best?

Ok, I LOVE this song. It's beautiful.. But I have only three versions - the one on the "C-Note", then that one on the boot "Into The Vault 1996" and the last one - the version from Montreux. How many versions are available? And which is the best? I prefer those two bootleg versions than C-Note, because they're much more emotional..imo the best is the 1:59 rendition on Into The Vault.

I Like the NPG version that was plyed before the Gold Tour Shows on screen with Same December and Zannalee. which in arrangement isn't far from the C Note version, with the pounding drums. which version is from "Into The Vault 1996"? i have a version which is mainly piano and vocals from the I'll Do Anything sessions i believe.




cool

I like the 95 version with the guitar at the end. this song dates back all the way to 1985.

Hell, yeah. The video is cool also! He "died" after the roaring guitar solo.

Yeah, I like the "1995" version that was mainly based on the original 1985 version. I love this one. That version has 2 c the official light of day. If I can recall, that's the one intended 4 the 'Roadhouse Garden' project.
