Never thought I'd dig this song so much. They're just so on this whole night (week actually).

I love this version. It's got oomph and doesn't put you to sleep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyAOwP8dLqc for video.

Embryonic "Fire" in the "soundcheck jam" into Wharf Rat. Not a full FTM, but of amazing Deadfulness and not listed elsewhere. Check it out!

Uh, Donny, you do know they'd been on an involuntary hiatus since July right?

Uh... yeah, but the whole band drops out for a spell. Bobby rescues it, that's true, and they all come charging back for the climax, but this one probably caused some eye-rolling by both band and roadies.

"Lesh takes over" is an understatement. How about, "Lesh destroys the universe with hammering thunder, unleashing Ragnarök to the ruination of the Storm Giants" or something like that. :^)

Hey Cuse, welcome back man! Where you been?! This is, you're right on, a definitive kickass version.

Oh yes, this is more interesting, tighter, and exciting than the Cornell one. There's too much said about this everywhere, but yep, just like with Veneta, there's a confirmation bias effect that over-values Cornell relative to the other shows and versions that could be more highly regarded. The first solo here, the punchiness of the drums, the Bobby-doin'-Bobby thing, and Donna, yes Donna, all make this one a great great version.
