It would have been 'Dry County' by a mile at Hampden. It was played cos of our banner, Jon acknowledged us, it was completely unexpected and the p*ssing rain just added to it's power if anything, especially when Jon started "cursing the sky to open" and "begging the clouds for rain". The gripe - the second solo was half-improvised even though it used many of the phrases and licks from the actual solo. If it had been like Manchester (which got THE solo or damned near enough), it would have been perfect and nothing could ever come close.

However, another gem cropped up in the same show that makes a final decision between the two so difficult to make - Always. The vocals were phenomenal, the band was tight and that outro solo just blew the 'Live from London' version right out of the water. I think Richie must be well aware of the legendary status the 'Live from London' version has amongst us die-hards and just thought - "WATCH THIS!" Awesome!

If I was forced to pick between the two right now, I'd go with ALCOUNTY...... erm..... DRYWAYS..... ahhh crap! I can't decide. I loved them both!

we got always at twickers on Friday and i have to say i have never seen them perform that song so brilliantly. as you say the outro solo was probably one of the best solos ive ever seen ritchie do (just pips the distance at hyde park and IBTFY at MK in 06) truly amazing.
great to hear the song again.
