Best Released Version: Proudest Monkey

Personally, I feel that since Tim started touring with them every year, Proudest Monkey is one of the most improved songs. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a Roi or Jeff solo, but Tim usually shreds. Anyhow, out of all the released version, which do you think is the best? Poll coming.

My vote goes to LT 15. Tim's solo is amazing.

    Well poll fail, I guess you can only have 10 options. If you like one not listed, I guess just mention it.

    Should have clarified I meant live releases. My bad. I would agree that the studio is the best.

    Warehouse 5 Volume 4 and Gorge 2002 are my 2 favorite at this point.

    Voted for RR95. Love the faster paced versions as well.

    Lt2008 is AMAZING. Rashawn kills it, as does Roi (of course), and it's a really crisp, neat version.

    How is no one talking about the version from Warehouse 5, V.4? It is easily Roi's best solo on that song, if not any song. He fucking goes off.

    LT 15 and nothing comes close. I love the studio version, but the first time I heard Tims solo from 15 it brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely powerful

    Yeah everyone on here is loving the Tim solos, but they never even come close to touching Roi on this version. And I was at Live Trax 15....

    If that's the case, wouldn't he have said live released?

    and then where is Gorge '02 and LT 12?
