That's my fav. too, she nails it.

Does anyone have an mp3 of that anyways? I lost that CD a long time ago.

LIB followed by Today Show...

I enjoy the Storytellers version, as well. The "timmmmmeeeee...ofyourlife!" part is fantastic and should be included more during her shows.

I voted for Storytellers. That version just says I AM BACK. Completely drug free and dances her ass off. Gotta give credit to the Today Show version too, love her outfit and vocals.

Yea sure the old versions are good but only because she was on coke. I like the newer versions because it shows what she can really do!

I think the old versions are good because of Bobbye Hall!

Here ya go, my friend....

"Stand Back" (Oakland, CA, 10-04-83)

Like Rhiannon, SOTM, Edge, How Still My Love and Gold Dust Woman, its nice that there are SO MANY great live versions to pick from. The nice thing about Stand Back as opposed to Rhiannon is that so many of those great versions are from this past decade.

My all time favorite Stand Back is Woodstock 98, I belive the last date on the Enchanted Tour. The thing that puts it over the top for me is that MAYbe MAYBe Maybe YEAAAAH part. Runners Up include:

Tacoma 97
Today Show Katrina Benifit Thing
LIB
7-26-05
SNL
Super Bowl (There's just somethign about this most recent Stand BAck that I love)

AND I'd like to add that probably one of my least favorite Stand BAcks is the Dreamer version. Still good but too muchl like the studio version, which I'm in the minority of not liking.

Bobbye Hall is amazing. I remember watching her when I was 8 on the Red Rocks video and going, "Wow how does she make all those noises."

Works up one hell of a sweat too!

I voted Solid Gold with Storytellers running a close second.

Just let me know if there are any others you'd like to add, and how you want the options to be worded.

Can you fix my vote as well? I accidentally hit Super Bowl, which is nowhere near my fav performance.

Yeah. I don't think I have it on the compu though so I'm going to have to upload it. I'll do it for you in a little bit. I have to find the CD first. I think I know where it is.

EDIT: Ah, JS beat me to it. Thank you. Now I don't have to go searching for it.

I also loved it when she said "Love your life" during that era at the end. That's why it's my sig.
