SHOCKED this one wasn't mentioned yet. Even with the crushing cut out in the SBDs, this version still stands at the top

Very hot, tight jam segment. Song has the best lyric ever written: "Let your life proceed by it's own design"

By all accounts, this is a rather goofy song, but i love this version. Entire show is spot on

Like others, not a massive TJ fan, but was in Nashville and a spin felt obligatory. This one is a crusher - band is tight and Jer puts the hammer DOWN on the leads. Very enjoyable version and yeah, they def brought it in Nash during an already iconic month in dead history

Powerhouse energetic and Bobby legitimately snarling and growling in full force. Killllllller

Thick cosmic soup. At times demonic in nature, then a flawless transition into Terrapin

The embarrassingly entendred name “clam jam,” is very well done. I’ve always loved this show
