ytserush Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I'm going with Mink even though I personally witnessed Dink. It's close. Maybe all versions will be bonuses on the DVD. It was the first time ever and he played on the original. If not for that it's probably a toss up for me. Edited June 28, 2015 by ytserush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I like them both. Don't really have a preference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely Space Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Both were great, but Dink really went for it, while Mink seemed more reserved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevind2112 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Jonathan was awesome, and maybe a tad "better" (such a subjective word) than Ben. But, the Ben performance was about more than just Ben vs. Jonathan. The Ben performance was the FIRST time we'd ever experienced and witnessed that song live. Also, he's the originator of those classic parts. As much as I thought Jonathan's actual performance was a bit better, I'm going with Ben because I still get chills watching the Toronto performance. But it's so insanely close I can't even vote on it :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketom Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 They couldnt grab a member of the Clockwork Angels string section have them do a few shows each and play the song at every show. What a bunch of Dinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shemp Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 They couldnt grab a member of the Clockwork Angels string section have them do a few shows each and play the song at every show. What a bunch of Dinks! They probably didn't think it was right for live shows since they never played it before. I'm thinking they only started to realize the fans wanted it after someone looked at the polls for songs requested by the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbass Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Mink was the real deal (the original)... EPIC! Dink was just some guy playing a cover tune... Edited July 2, 2015 by rushbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke1 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just watched the Jonathan performance. Wow both were great. I think Ben kept it very close to the original, something special, first time played live and having Ben play it. I think Jonathan really went for it in the instrumental section, great solo. It's even for me, different performances and styles, both played superbly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightAntennae Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) I have watched both performances more times than I wish to admit and IMO Dink was far superior. But there was a cool factor with Mink that is hard to deny. I mean c'mon...having the original violinist was awesome! So I'm really torn...but my vote goes to Dinklage. He just flat out did an amazing job!!! Edited July 6, 2015 by BrightAntennae 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shemp Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I liked both but to me, Dink's was more enjoyable to listen to so I hope his gets put on the CD. I think they recorded the Newark version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
