Super attendance bias here, but that My Road (My Road) from 3/14/18 at belly up, aspen was amazing
Also, 2/12/17 Palisades... this one goes a different direction than usual at the end that i really like. Kinda bluesy. Im not even sure if the last 5 min are even Palisades but who knows haha prob them just jamming

@Lopez said in Outstanding versions of songs:
Seriously if you haven't listened to the 2/2/13 Ain't That Wrong you are doing yourself a disservice.
Great rec, awesome version. This is the reason for this thread!

@GeorgeBailey I don't wanna say I told you so but.....

if there's a better jam out there than the 3/5/18 VBD, I want to hear it. That jam man, from 33 minutes on, holy shit

My slip and squander votes go to:
-Leading into NYE, brian gives some extra mustard on the build: https://spaffnerds.com/shows/2015-12-31
-Guest sit-in, Rick from Goose, gives this version a step above most: https://spaffnerds.com/shows/2018-01-20@RadiantDarkness said in Outstanding versions of songs:
ETS needs work. I'll listen through some early ones and suggest one.
10/30/15 definitely worthy for it being an atypical jam for ETS. Things got weird.
Listened to most ETS versions from 2012+2013 (to separate out Alternate Ending in the setlists) and I wasn't WOW'd by any of them. 10/30/15 still reigns supreme.

@RadiantDarkness a definite on that Slip and Squander with Rick from Goose, I really enjoy that one.

I would like to recommend Soil from 3/14/18.
my case ; ) :
around the 2 min mark, the keys get super nasty funky
3:30 guitar tone starts getting fatter
jam breaks for a second around 4:10
then we really start heading to the promise land
4:34 the guitar riff i love kicks in. very simple repeating, dark tone
4:40 keys go full blown 80s dead funk like feel like a stranger
then they really start to create within that simple structure they just laid down
solid foundation to funk on top off, keys really starts adding flare
this lasts till 6:20 mark at which point they switch to cruise control and rage out the rest of the song in typical spafford fashion -
@fluffhead How could anyone disagree with this well thought out explanation? Added!
-
@GeorgeBailey highly recommend you give this version a spin

Just relistened to Asheville, N2... holy smokes... this All In is out of its friggin' mind. Can I get an amen?
Watching it on youtube is fun -
I'd advise you to listen to the 2012-03-16 Down Under from Coyote Joes, but your mom will get pissed at me when you face slops on the floor

This is the kind of thread I can get down with. Looks like I know what I'm doing this weekend.
I'd like to throw It's A Bunch 1/26/18 into the convo as honorable mention (I don't think it can beat out Crystal Bay)
