Best version of the song-Gloria?

I will go with The Shadows of Knight version and I just heard that their lead singer just passed away,

I believe Them(w/Van Morrison) released their version earlier but for some reason The Shadows of Knight seemed better.

The Doors did a live version and not sure if they also did a studio version.

C'mon, it doesn't get any better than Brannigan's impassioned take.

Re: Best version of the song-Gloria?

I really enjoy Tom Petty's take on the song, it's a bootleg from the 97 Fillmore shows and he goes into a great patter about how it's probably not politically correct to ask a woman on the street her name.

The Door's had my favorite version of the song for decades from one of their live Albums.

Nothing againt Ms. Brannigan, but Van Morrison and Them lead the way for me.

I listen to the Patti Smith one by far the most (and Redondo Beach off that album is great), but Them/Van Morrison is pretty good too.

There has to be a mashup out there somewhere.
