    Re: Best version of Raven

    If you're going DMB go with one of the Sept '00 versions where Dave would improv about lost innocence/prostitution.....

    For example - 9/6/00 - Orlando - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZT2jmJTEeo

    ===
    all too too honest to be afraid
    oh spent this girl her soul away
    she's all golden to me
    she's good enough to eat
    girl she knows if soul's worth she's gonna
    sell her soul for me

    she sold her soul for me

    oh the sweet love greasy
    it's for your price
    oh baby jesus
    made me sweet at last
    so now rage on to cry out
    i sell it for buck
    paid sheep now get on too young
    the sweet girl she's been fucked

    gone then tossed away
    greed love she holds oh dearest to her way
    bought then tossed away
    the girl sweet child is lost again....
    ETC
    ===

    9/15/00 is really good too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAdj3ICKxGA

    For nDMB versions Dave solo 10/24/02 at Benaroya Hall is fantastic: http://youtu.be/d9r3A91tRd0?t=1h17m2s

    Dave switched to playing Raven w/ open chords in 2009 (perhaps a little earlier). The song kinda lost some of the magic for me when he stopped playing the verse riff (amazing on that 10/24/02 ver). For that reason I'd go w/ something from 2002 if I were to pick a good "Busted Stuff" syle DMB Raven....

    Top 10 song for me. All of the versions above are great. Also, check out 4/21/02 at Montreal. Underrated and I'm not just saying that because I was there.

    Though not "released", the D&T version is pretty awesome.

    It's the only song on tLWS I can't really get into, mainly because of the unfinished state of the lyrics.

    Sometime in '00, I really dislike the set lyrics and prefer the adlib versions.
