source provided is an excellent motb AUD recording that feels like youre there when listening thru earphones- great band interplay and yes,the coda jam is one of the best- no vocal flubs either...needs more votes.

Agreed this one should be on top- Bobby nails the vocals and the bands locked in..i often marvel at how he can remember all those verses and nail em with no flubs- top version!
