Outstanding Versions of Spafford Songs, Best Performances, Recommended Versions of Songs, etc...

Do we want descriptions of the notable jams? I was present for a few of these and could easily throw together a sentence or two about them. Personally when I browse the jam charts on phish.net I pick things to listen to based on the descriptions. Life is short, gotta choose wisely what to put in your ears

A few recommendations..
11/15/17 LTLO – Oddly, the second jam starts in a major key. Unusually upbeat and eventually cathartic, more like Slip & Squander than LTLO.
10/19/17 BDF - Outshined by the first set's Bee Jam, but very worthy. Quickly departs the typical BDF jam for percussive ground. Amazing upbeat peak explodes into cowfunk before unique phrasing and a metallic guitar tone lend a surreal quality to the song's conclusion.

@GeorgeBailey that Indy MRMR oustands oustanding, i second that shit!
-
Salamander Song recs??
What other Spaff songs are like a Hood/Slave/Reba bliss jam??
-
Alternate Ending is bliss city. Check out 1-25-17 Wonder Bar the ETS -> Alternate Ending -> Salamander is choice
Palisades is another pretty blissful one check out 3-27-15 Vegas version - this is also on the "Live in Vegas" release on Spotify
Windmill can get very blissful - 1/31/18 Culture Room has an almost Eyes of the World feel to the first jam..should probably just check out that whole first set too, that Culture Jam doesnt mess around and they just melt into the BDF. The version on Live Vol 1 (not sure the date) is also really good

thank you @dontjudgedave
ive been digging the weasel>palisades>weasel from that vegas release for awhile
you got any recs for a weasel>palisades segment?
-
Not too many off the top of my head but if you search this thread I think others have made some good recs for Weasel sandwiches
8/5/18 BB Kings Phish Afterparty is pretty sick with the Red's Jam throw in the sandwich too
1/20/18 Lancaster is a lot of fun with them switching it up and doing Palisades inside ETS and Alternate Ending inside Weasel. I think the highlight of the show is the outro jam of ETS before the drop into Weasel. After Palisades, they slam hard into ETS and finish it then the outro they drop into like half speed for a bit and bliss out before the Weasel

11/04/17 is my favorite. The return/end of Weasel is one of my favorite things they've done. I also love when they hit the big riff at the end in stride instead of stopping for it. They don't seem to do it much anymore.
-
1/12/18 Definitely gets into the conversation for W>P>W action. Early ‘18 is a treasure trove of Weasels.
-
This thread needs some action. What is everyone digging from the last few months? I'll throw out a few...8/11 All in, 8/9 and 9/22 Bee Jam, 8/26 ETS. What else you got?
-
10/12/18 Electric
Stand, some serious driving funk. -
Lonely on 10/11 went deep. Probably my favorite I’ve seen live.
-
10/6/18 Weasel needs to be added. Probably the best Weasel I've heard in recent years. So glad the untz is back.
-
@GeorgeBailey 8/9 Bee Jam and Plans, 8/26 All IN has one of my favorite Spafford grooves,

List is updated with versions that had multiple votes. A few of these will probably get more votes once they get nug'd.
And how about that Dream Jam from 10/9...do I have to ask for extra votes for that as an Outstanding Version?
-
Hasn't been Nug'd yet but we should all be talking about that Funkadelic > Remedy from Brooklyn N1...shit was toight
-
Posts in epic thread... Thanks for the list, GB! I'm new to this forum. Ready to learn.
-
Pumped to have been to a few of these!
-
Brooklyn acoustic Weasel (10/14/18) is a definite, yes?
