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

I really urge people to spin this one. Such a creative jam out of NFA. Brimming w creativity. My favorite version for sure

Glad to hear Cuse! Jort army standard issue uniform includes: pink tank top (can be supplemented with the occasional Madonna T shirt), 80's reflective sun glasses, tube socks, and of course, pre-cut, frayed 8 inch regulation denim jorts. Damn bobby's steeze got weird... Guy is the man though, so I applaud him just being himself. Easily the unsung hero of the band and the guy that gets the most shit (besides donna, of course)

Dug it, thanks a lot! The way you feel about this version is the way i feel about 5-9-79. Literally the best bobby/jerry interplay i have ever heard, featured in the end jam. I implore people to listen - you will not be disappointed. Again though, this version is really sweet. Sorry for the highjack!
