The Live Versions: #1 - Knockin' On Heaven's Door

A new series of threads... "THE LIVE VERSIONS".
Let's take a look at the different versions we have of the different songs when played live from all eras of the band. Not all songs are vastly different, so we'll concentrate on the obvious ones.
Starting off with the song which has been through the most changes, KOHD.
What is your favorite version of the song? The straight forward version played in the '80s, the horn-section extended solo version of the '90s or perhaps the revamped "back to the original" version of the early '00s? Feel free to post youtube links of the version you like the most.
Personally I'm a huge fan of the version played in 2001. Love Axl's very different vocals on the song, Buckethead's solo is beautiful and the song isn't
too
long. It's much calmer and softer than the album version, and I really like the mellow vibe to the whole thing. In the future I wish Axl will take it back to something similar when playing it live.

The late 2000s and early 2010s (2006 - 2014) is good. It's layed back
The 90s version was more hard core, more rock n roll
Can't go wrong with the ritz version

Ritz 88.
And both Rio 91 versions.
Probably favorites because of the nostalgic part, more than "best" version 😊

This is my favorite as well. Best ever. Axl's got complete control of the vocals.

Paris 1992 and Chicago 1992.
I prefer the version with the full circus going on with the dancers, the reggae part ect.
All the versions of 2014 were awesome too.

I loved the 80 and 90 versions.
The 80 was very raw. And 90 was more powerfull.
And dont like the original version, seems a little boring to me.
So if i have to choose 1. I pick the album version.

Freddie Mercury Tribute 1992 and Rock Am Ring 2006 are my favorite versions. Don't like the Ritz version nor the studio version.

If I had to choose one version,the freddie mercury tribute is the best ever.and the 1st time it was played in Marquee '87.
But frankly now,it bores me.Maybe it's time to drop it on the next tour,whenever that is. In those 15 boring minutes ,you could fit 3 killer songs.

hated bobs version. when i saw that clip from the versace show i fell in love. 2001 version was beautiful too.
the one from afd dvd blows me away. the vibe is unreal. to me it really shows off just how amazing the guitarists and everyone else was. whereas better felt too crowded, too much being shoved into a small time frame, too fast, kind of a clusterfuck, no time for axl to catch his breath, kohd was the opposite. everyone gets their time to shine. love how ax does the oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh part.
i would kill to hear a studio version or more music done in this style from gnr. i think they could pull off mellow stuff really well. would love to see a slow laid back version of better done like that.

Freddie Mercury version, including Only Women Bleed intro, is by far my favorite. Great solo's, cool reggae part, some singalong and not too long like they would usually do during the UYI tour.
