The Confrontation: I've always liked this song. I saw OKGo perform it opening for TMBG a billion years ago, and that was the first time I heard it (shut up, yes, I still haven't seen the musical!). I've heard various snippets throughout the years and have concluded that this is by far the best:

BUT... it's not the full thing and there's laughing which takes away from the dramatic 'oomph' of their performance. I want a really good powerful dramatic version of this, but there are so many versions and MP3s out there and all I can get are 30-second snippets so far. So, guys, I have a request! Any Les Mis fans out there have a favorite?

Yet I'm way more interested in the vocal performances, because I think they carry the most dramatic weight in this piece and define whether or not it blows me away. Help?
