Jerry nails the lyrics, nice interplay with Brent and Jerry, and a great crowd reaction. Seriously fun version.

Road Trips Vol. 3, No. 4. There is something about that Hammond Organ that makes this song like a church hymn. Strong version.

Nucking Futs way to end a show! Pig invites the crowd up to help in the rap on his mic and say whatever they want!

Explodes out of a rockin' St. Stephen and carries that energy all the way through to Lovelight. I'm shocked their equipment didn't spontaneously erupt

Fuzzy recording but the energy on this Stephen cannot be denied.

This song at this show was the moment that I got on the bus!

The clarity of the recording makes this one stand out. The start, slow and steady, with whatever that thing Mickey is playing sounding like a frog chirping, takes me back to camping on a lake in summer. Then it disappears into "space" for a while, only to reappear stronger and more powerful than before. 2/13 will always be my favorite for personal reasons but this is a strong version.

Winterland Arena

Understatement of the century! This thing just keeps going. No peaks and valleys. Just high energy from start to finish. Tie one on and hold on.

It's hard to compete with the late '70s shows but this version holds its own nicely. Probably the best of the '90s versions I've ever heard.
