    Deer Creek, hands down. SPAC was the worst but it'll get a lot of votes because of the venue.

    Gorge was great too.

    Was at C'ville, SPAC, and Gorge. Voted Gorge, but C'ville was my favorite.

    SPAC was not good

    Was at SPAC. Any version other than SPAC is the right answer.

    Only redeeming quality of that version was the transition to the reprise was perfect. But Dave fucked up, and struggled with some notes throughout the entire body of the song

    Saw these 3 and voted the same way..... Deer Creek. So pretty much this should be Deer Creek vs C-ville.

    REALLY tight race for me between Deer Creek and Riverbend, but I'm going with Deer Creek.

    C'Ville totally whiffed the transition to the reprise

    SPAC was sloppy

    Gorge had Dave just randomly dropping F bombs into it instead of some lyrics if I'm not mistaken?

    Cville transition to the reprise was awful...the horns missed it


    SPAC and Deer Creek were absolutely incredible versions and so was Dallas. Chose SPAC

    Wow I was at four of these. I had a good year

    Really hard for me to say.

    Riverbend was nuts with LIOG, but gotta go Gorge experience wise. YOu knew it was coming, but it was a blast.

    Not sure what was sloppy besides 1 or 2 lyrical flubs...

    the transition was amazing:

    I'm not the first person even in this thread to point out the SPAC version being sloppier. In comparing it to a couple other versions here, its easily not the cleanest or best performance.

    Saw it twice. Listened to them all. SPAC is near the bottom. Cincy was the best IMO

    Besides Dave messing up once or twice on the lyrics can someone else point out what they didn't love regarding that version?

    SPAC was just horrendous, probably the worst performance of any song ever by this band.
    I voted Deer Creek.

    Just felt stale and choppy from what I remember.

    Being at the show I noticed it wasnt that great. I think too many were caught up in the "OMGZZ LAST STOP AT SPAC" hysteria during it to realize it wasnt a very good version.

    Definitely 5/20, followed by 5/14 (great prelude), 7/23, and 5/7.

    Was at SPAC, WPB, and Gorge. Thought WPB was the cleanest performance. SPAC had amazing energy though.

    For people asking about the SPAC flub, I think what people are referring to is Dave going back into the chorus too soon at one point. They all saved it though, it was actually pretty impressive. It doesn't sound nearly as bad as people are making it out.

    If I had people singing this song as loudly and poorly as the crowd sings it, I wouldn't play it often either. Jesus, they sound terrible. (on one of the SPAC versions I watched on youtube)

    besides Dave messing up once or so, still do not understand what was bad about it... this video proves it IMO


    ***I agree it's not the best. I really enjoyed Dallas and Deer Creek more

    Well there are other versions without those flubs so naturally people would pick those versions.

    And I didn't even see your post above, I agree

    The lyric misses, missing a few notes, and the song almost trainwrecked (Carter saved it). When you take those into account, and the fact that other versions did not have those issues, it isn't really debatable that it was the worst performance of that song this year.

    Was at C'Ville and Deer Creek. Enjoyed C'Ville more in person for obvious reasons, but DC was just performed to perfection.

    That seems a little harsh. I was at SPAC also and it's not like the performance was a bad one, by any means. I haven't listened to the other ones (aside from C'Ville) so I'm not even going to bother voting. But to say that SPAC's Last Stop only had one redeeming quality about it a tad far-fetched.

    Just my opinion.

    I mean. Really? I think you might be being sarcastic, but in case you're not I can certainly point you in the direction of far inferior performances by dmb.

    SPAC isn't nearly as bad as everyone is making it out to be. As someone else pointed out, Dave transitioned into the chorus too early at one point, but the band recovered almost immediately. Dave had some lyrical trouble, but the band was fantastic despite the chorus slip up. The reprise outro was flawless, probably the best of the tour. The crowds reaction and energy throughout the entire song also made it truly amazing.

    Spac last stop wasn't the best by any means but it came out of no where in the two spot. Hadn't been played since riverbend.

    The song almost trainwrecked? No it didn't lol. I've listened to the version and watched it multiple times and dave tried to go into chorus early once but if you watch the video... fonz and Carter react perfectly and everything was fine.

    There was no train wreck...
