Cool to hear an early version and get a view of how the song evolved.

Wang Dang Doodle

Knickerbocker Arena

The highlight is during the first instrumental jam where Jerry goes off on a saxophone solo.
Broken Arrow

Miami Arena

Phil's vocals start out rough, but things smooth out after the first verse.
That Would Be Something

The Omni

Nice spacey outro jam into Drums.
That Would Be Something
April 5, 1995
Jefferson Civic Center Coliseum

Right now, Boston 1991 is the leader in votes, but read my comments about that version. I feel undue credit is given to it for an unlabeled Mind Left Body Jam. This one has an exploratory jam in the middle, followed by passionate Jerry vocals and a nice outro jam.
That Would Be Something
Sept. 25, 1991
Boston Garden

The first 1:40 is a Mind Left Body Jam and has nothing to do with That Would Be Something. This should be labeled Mind Left Body Jam->That Would Be Something. What's left is about 2 minutes of That Would Be Something. Taking away the Mind Left Body Jam, 4-5-1995 is the best That Would Be Something, 5:46 of exploratory guitar work and passionate vocals where Jerry really goes at it.
