Lots of submissions from this show. 2 well-played sets - this is my favorite Stagger Lee, not sure exactly why it just has IT.

The freakin harmonies on this one I miss that trio singing Euro 72 style. Back when Phil could sing that high

This one gets up here for Brent's creativity during the Jam. UJB sandwich 2nd set is sweet.

Crystal version here. It is vocally and musically pleasing. Then the set went to Goo.

This is the most beautiful version. Background vocals are exceptional here and that is not a poke. The whole song is just executed.
