Feel Like a Stranger - 12/31/17 is unreal.
Check out the video for this one. If I'm not mistaken Red actually misses the entry on the vocals. Brian and Red have a chuckle over it and Brian covers with a super Wa'd out lick. It's one of those moments where a "mistake" ends up producing something amazing. You've got to lean into the skid...

Two recommendations today.
- Soil 2018/04/20, gets very dark dirty funk right off the bat
- LTLO 2018/03/16, almost sounds like Cam's playing twice as many notes as usual, Brian shredding the whole time, the pre vocal breakdown jam and the post are both non stop peaking
-
@bee I'm on it. Spinning now
-
Honestly just stumbled on this show, 2013 is some of the best spafford IMO, but holy spafflords this taco stand

Lonely from: 1/19/18, 3/3/18, and 3/11/18 all deserve a listen. 1/19 is all moss and blissy, 3/3 is cam on edrum -> roaring peak, 3/11 has most energy, can feel the heat pouring out
really depends on what kind of jam you are looking for. 1/19 and 3/11 deserve to be on there, 3/3 honorable mention

I was pretty (re: very) shit faced when I initially posted this. However on a completely sober re-listen it still stands as true.
The middle section is just straight up oozing dirty electro-funk therapy.

Backdoor Funk (Culture Jam version) https://spaffnerds.com/shows/2018-01-31
-
@Cody The way they slip into BDF from that Culture jam is so smooth. You can hear them patiently tease their way into it, especially hearing listening to Jordan's basslines as they go into the transition

I also listened to the 2017 ones (listed above, along with 4/6/17) after listening to all of the 2018 versions. 2017 is more laid back, 2018 more in your face. 2018 is in my wheelhouse so I'd say those are better but others may like their jams more subdued and go with when they first started jamming the song.

I've updated this as far as I can tell. If I've missed anything, check the top post again to make sure the "rules" were followed. This gets a little hard to keep up with at times, so those "rules" make it a little easier.
-
@GeorgeBailey I'm just glad that you started this thread instead of me XD

5/5/18 Todd's Tots weighs in at a cool 15 minutes on the nugs recording. Definitely worth a listen and I'm not positive they've jammed it quite like this before (or ever?). If they start ripping this song proper and blow this rendition away then this version would at least be the shift or signal for the song's ascent to the stratosphere...
-
@RadiantDarkness You are correct. I hope it's the beginning of a new chapter for this tune.
-
Just noticed there is not one version of The Reprise on here. Going to throw out 11/4/17 as a suggestion. While you're checking that out, go ahead and give a listen to that whole second set as it is extremely underrated in my opinion.

Mind's Unchained plays really well in Washington State: see Bellingham 3/8/18 and Seattle 11/14/17
Shoutout to @Josh-Ross for turning me on to the Seattle Mind's last winter
Bellingham is just an incredible show overall -

Bellingham is just an incredible show overallI'll give both of these some (johnny-) love. Hoping some other people will start jumping in this thread and upvoting these suggestions. Feels like it's the same group of us every time...Come on people, 12k views and only 112 posts, let's hear what you like!
On that note, how about that Walls from 6/16/18? Anyone else as hooked on it as I am? Seems like an outstanding version to me.
-
@GeorgeBailey Do you mean 6/16 Walls, or Windmill from diff show? I'll second that Walls, it's GLORRRRRIOUS!
