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

Ok, one of the two most glorified shows of all time (you can guess the other), and for good reason. Kicking China with a hot, bouncy jam, seamless IKYR transition. Powerful version - another jewel in the crown of a timeless show. Haven't spun in a while, glad i revisited

Boys came out the gate like a rabid dog. Jerry sounds like he is going to jump off the stage. Great energy
