Will I take it at a show? Yes, because there is a lot of emotion in it and a nice build up, but is it my first choice in an encore? Not even close.

Yeah, they haven't had the violin intro in the song in a LONG while. Maybe going back to 07? Last I can recall hearing it was Weekend on the Rocks.
The song gets hyped for its rarity. But I've caught it pretty much every tour I've attended. Best one was my first - SPAC '09; the tease in the encore, then thinking Watchtower closed, only to hear Carter still drumming lightly, and then BAM - Halloween!
After that, it hasn't wowed me. The double encore in '13 was cool though. Balcony was shaking and bouncing big time
