A tough choice, but I will go with "Where Do You Think You're Going" Rockpalast 79. That's pure class.

I love them all. Will choose just one that comes straight to my head. I think I love you too much - Notting Hillbillies at snape. When everyone falls into groove it enhances the MK solo. A magic moment. One of the live shows I would love to have been and still wait for a decent produced and mixed  CD release.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

My first post here, I'll take time to introduce properly at some point, if there's a thread for it.
I have hazy memories a very inspired solo mark played during Water of Love in Béziers in 1996 but unfortunatly I never heard it again, so it may not be as good as I remember it. Has anyone ever heard of a recording of that show? I sure would love to be able to listen to it!

I haven't heard that one, but the Water of Love solos from the Golden Heart tour were great. Forgot about those.

The version of Water of love from Vaison 96 is very good and in superb soundboard quailty.
Can't choose a best one, there are too many...
Sultans of swing - Basel 92
Are we in trouble now - NHB London 97
Brothers in arms - Music for Montserrat
Feel like going home - For one night only Tom Jones 98
You and your friend - On the night
If this is goodbye - Real live roadrunning
Tunnel of love - ...has to be in the list but can't a best version right now

Welcome to the best MK forum, Pimo! I wasn't able to locate the version you have heard, but if you heard it somewhere and not live, then it exists and it will surface eventually. Take a look here for recordings from that tour: http://tracker.knopflertk.net/torrents.php?cat=7&page=0

The Vaison is indeed easy to find:   but the solos are very small, although superb. And the fact that he plays Water of love in this whole tour  with his Gibson Les Paul and not his National steel is a very nice surprise, which by the way brings this song closer to the mood of the GH album. This one is a bit better played, but the audience is heard too loud and spoils it somehow.

Last but not least, this comes from the wonderful TNH live at the Snape. (One of my favorite lives. I wish it would be made available officially with fixed sound. It contains my all time favorite version of I think I love you too much)  The particular version slightly suffers from  the sound of the guitar imitation, since he recreates the national steel sound with his pensa. But it is a very nice version, and the solo is very smooth. I guess the GH tour versions are much after this, since they  are different but not so much in mood, as in the lead guitar sound.   

Come on, it is not funny anymore.

Thanks for your replies
I saw it live. I was there in Béziers and it was my first MK concert ever, I was 15. I heard other versions from that tour after that but none captured what I felt in Béziers. But then again it was live, it was my fist time and it was a song I wasn't expecting at all in such a surprising arrangment, so I guess I was ready to be stunned. Vaison version of two days later may be just as good, as I said I've never heard it again.
I seem to recall a somewhat longer solo. It's surprising how some moment still flash in my mind. I have never searched for a recording of this show but I would love to know if one had been made.

Those 1990 versions of YOSW are incredible!  Glasgow is better I think though.
