Which live version of 'Sign O' The Times' (song, not concert) do you think is the best? I remember hearing one from a gig he did before he launched the SOTT tour that was cool and I also liked the version form the Act I tour. Didn't really care for the speeded up vocals on the SOTT film and the version he played with horns at the RRHOF performance in 2004 though.

I like the version in the SOTT film and the RRHOF performance the most.

There's a bunch of good ones on the rehearsal recordings that were done before the SOTT tour was about to start.

MTV awards 87.

Also love the heavy version did on tour in 2002.

London 02 Arena, 2007

Started 3 bars of Irresistible Bithch then went Uh, UH, SOTT. Only did 1/2 of it then said "you can't handle me" and went Rasberry

The MTV Awards version. I, still, remember every riff from that version by memory.

Even so, I wish he would do it just like the album version; that blues guitar just kills me!

I didn't catch the SOTT tour, being in the US. I did see the Lovesexy tour in Chicago (3rd night) and he played SOTT. I found out later that that was the only time he played it on the Lovesexy tour.

This! It was great to see/listen back then and I still enjoy it a lot.
