The one Vince song I dig. This performance is super-solid. Make sure to listen to Jerry's solo. Something kicked him in the ass- it's a rager!

Surprised the Without A Net version gets no love here. This one has always been one of my favorites, and I go back to it often!

A very solid, all-around well-played version. This definitely needs more love!

Off of one of Dick's leaked tapes. Wow, great version. There's a nice, clean copy on archive- check it out!

I'm generally skeptical of versions rated highly for gimmicks. (St. Stephen jam, 80,524 beat intro to BIODTL, etc...) but this version smokes even without the nod to Stephen. I think my vote just tied this for first place with Veneta, 16-16.

Why was this left off the GD Movie soundtrack?!?!?

Clean is right- a sleeper for sure, except for coming out of the last solo... I swear they miss the cue on that more than they don't... But still a great one, and better than most above this. Thanks for introducing me to it.
