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.

Perfection in the transition and they carry the energy from Sugar Mag into a really spirited Scarlet.

Between the Phil bombs and the interplay with Jerry, Bob, and Brent, I raised my blood pressure about 30 points by the 4 minute mark. An absolute killer version!

How have I slept on this show for this long? Thanks for waking me up! Great version to kick off a great show.

This version is like a thoroughbred running the Belmont. Comes out of the gate at a good clip. Makes a sprint down the back stretch (The Other One) and then eases up a little only to just crush it down the homestretch and win by 10 lengths. Freaking awesome!
