Ain't That Wrong - 10/8/17

[Lopez]

The 5/24/14 Weasel > Palisades has my vote for sure.

Some of the bands finest work of all time IMO.

@Lopez what do you think Nerds?

THE Weasel

Good recommendation on a Legend? Listening to the Asbury show and am remembering that I really dig it and havent really searched out other versions

Also, Ive listened to all of Asbury so many times but finally heard between Legend and Eyes the dude that was standing not too far from me yelling "Play Margaritaville! I love that song!" ...forgot about that

@dontjudgedave Probably not in the "best of" category, but I've always loved this one:

Yup, this is sick!

@GeorgeBailey definitely put the Postman from 3/12/15 as recommended by @Lopez. I'm also down with the LTLO being added from that same show. Definitely a must-listen!

The Virtual Bean Dip from 9/29/16 should be added too!

[dontjudgedave]

@Frito-Pie funky legend with sax? I'm sold

@Cody LTLO is going to be tough, there are a lot of good versions. 8/9/14 and 5/1/15 come to mind offhand.

I know, I was afraid to make a recommendation of my own because I know there's some deep ones out there! Lol

Off the top of my head...
10/30/15 - Electric Taco Stand
5/8/15 - Backdoor Funk
3/8/15 - On Fire
8/9/14 LTLO, also, IMO, the most underrated show in their history.
5/24/14 - Weasel
5/25/13 - On Fire>Electric Taco Stand

The It's A Bunch from last night is worth consideration.
