Especially thanks to the awesome Lemmingarchive and amazing GaryUK we have a big chuck of quality live recordings.
I am wondering, what are your favorites? Which ones do you always go back to because they sound so good?

I normally dislike live-recordings but Editors are an exception. Tom's energy is caught with these recordings, it seems.

Anyway, to kick it off. This version of Life as a Ghost is one of my all time favorites. I really love how they polished the song for the live set in general, but this recording (Pinkpop 2014) is just.. wow!
I'm sure even my neighbors can sing along at this point.

I'm still holding out for really good quality live recordings of the extended Papillon and the full band Nothing. Wish they'd put something out as b-sides!

The whole haldern pop set is outstanding. The mix on the entire recording is spot on for editors sound but this showing of you are fading sends shivers down my spine every time

And agreed on the Haldern Pop suggestion above. Good to hear 'Open Up' live, and 'Escape the Nest' into 'When Anger Shows' is brilliant.

A Life As A Ghost at pinkpop 2014 indeed, just wow.

This, I wish it was a better quality recording but how everything just... explodes at 2:47

I just got an email from Soundcloud, I had forgotten I have an account there. On it was this live recording of Banging Heads. It was taken 11/07/2007 in Munich.
This is how I like Toms voice best.

Oh I see you've Americanised the date! God that confused me for a second.

Oddly 11/07 (11th July) 2007 Editors were at the iTunes Festival in London which was the first time they played Banging Heads. I only figured it out as your Soundcloud also has Spiders which Editors didn't play in July. (And this definitely isn't the iTunes Festival version of Banging Heads where Tom said far less while introducing it. And the end has the German guy saying November, so that makes more sense now.)
