no link to megaupload to avoid leaks; however to answer your question ;,rock in rio has always been my favorite; to a point where I bet the album version wont be as good for me. (cause I heard the leak and if it sounds anything like that demo, Ill cry).

ok..thanks

I pray to god that they keep the clean vocals instead of the raspy tone; it DOESNT WORK FOR THIS SONG !!!!!!!!

[Rainfox]

Well...

RIRIII from 2001 will always be a favorite of mine. The performance is good, but the whole setting - and emotional aura, as well as Axl's spoken intro as he's clearly overwhelmed by the response to their comeback - is so amazing.

Also loved the be-bop beat for the medley.. that Axl "sways" to in the background when he straps on a guitar. The song has been missing that since.

But... as for pure performance, it has to be Budapest 2006.

I was there ?

Buuuut that's not the reason. See, I didn't really realise it until I heard the boot weeks after. ?

Axl is giving his all, as is the band. Check the last verse.. ?

Then show was brilliant and there are many highlights but Madagascar clearly hasn't been performed with this much passion and grit before or since.

But there are many good live versions out there.

I've just listen to it and indeed, the last verse is sung differently and that's what make the song ending less boring. but what I don't like in 2006 is the solo, much less emotional that 2001/2002 but the good point for 2006 performances is the rythm guitar, that was put forward more than 01/02.

2001 - 2002 : Rock in Rio (Amazing Solo, First time played, Axl stage move, etc)
2006: Kroq (Amazing Solo and lead guitar by Richard, very good perfomance from Axl and the band - Last Brain show)

[vanilie]

2006: Kroq (Amazing Solo ...

=> the best one in 2006

[GnR-NOW]

I would say KROQ Inland Invasion.

Alright, here's my Best Live Madagascar opinion:  Combine these 3 versions.

Lead-in translated by Beta at Rio III where Axl speaks to the huuuge crowd,
Boston '02 (I was there!!!!!!) hairs standing on the back of my neck.
Outro. from Budapest '06 (he does something different at the end of the song.  there's a beautiful high note hit that he doesn't do in any other version I've heard)

[CheapJon]

kroq and budapest easily

the beginning is funny when dizzy, I think, did a mistake ! the audience reaction was very cool. it would have been cool if german TV broadcasted it also.

Ha! I hadn't heard that before. Why the false start? Anyone know?

[Edrose]

i used to have the audience dvd of it

i think they just got the background images on the screen behind the band out of sync with what the band were actually playing

[gandra]

without competition rock in rio 2001 version

[Lolita]

without competition rock in rio 2001 version

I'll go for this one as well, though I've seen the band performing it on stage in 2006. I enjoy listening to this 2001 live more than ever,?

[ppbebe]

KROQ Inland Invasion one, so far.  I prefer 06 version. 

Thanks Warose for the file.
