A bit sloppy early version but i'm a sucker for the late set versions of this song.

I loved the return of this song. This is a great version in an oustanding 1st set.

Kicks off potentially the most epic set 2, with a bouncy excellent version of the song. Forget the lyrical flubs.

Heard this for the first time recently. It might not be as put together as later versions, but it is a clean version with lots of cool improvs. Sounds almost like a studio outtake. An instant fav for me.

I love the vocal jam from this one. It really could have gone forever if I was making the decisions.

Wow how did I miss this one for so.many years. Charged up is right and with the JerBear clearly in charge.

They were on fire no doubt! The transition jam has many unique phrases, and is one of the best ever done for sure. This needs to be much, much higher up on the list.
