Best live/rehearsal version of When U Were Mine?

My vote goes to Minneapolis 1982.... that extra melody he gives it just takes it to a whole ‘nother level

I agree. That version is just heavenly. The slow plaintive parts before the verses... The mix of falsetto and head voice... The raw, solo guitar tearing out the rhythm at the end...

Best versions are from the early tours. Controvery Tour New Orleans and Pittsburg are very good.also 1988 Bruce aspringsteen like versions are cool.

I really like any version. But I'll throw my hat in for the Dortmund one. The horns make it very Vegas but hey. He was having fun.

I really liked the version he did in 1997 during the Jam of the Year shows. It was just him and his electric guitar on stage. He changed the lyrics to sing "I know that you're going with another mf'r, don't care, cos I love you girl, I wanna be your sucker....."

By far my favourite version of the song is from One Nite Alone. Such energy. I just wish he didn't cut the second verse.

My favourite lyric change was from one of 21 Nights in London aftershows -

"I know that u're going with another sucker(?)

I don't care

I don't swear no more, but u know what he is"
