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

@Frito-Pie said in Outstanding versions of songs:
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!

@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

Great stuff. -
The It's A Bunch from last night is worth consideration.
-
@myanruth I missed it on the stream. Will circle back to listen shortly. Last night was fire.

Ok, this thread needs a bump. There are several suggestions already posted above that need someone to second or cosign in order to get on the list (and if I've missed one that has been agreed on, please let me know). Plus, they've played a whole bunch of new shows since then.
Would love for this thread to turn into a catalogue of every song. Also, there can be as many versions of each song as agreed upon. We're not trying to find the Number 1 version of every song, just create a solid list of outstanding versions of each.
A few I'll throw out there from recently to get this rolling again:
Backdoor Funk 11/16/17
Plans 12/29/17
Thieves 1/11/18
Down Under 1/19/18 -
I'm sure there are many great versions considering it's age but most outstanding Windmill I've heard in the past few tours is Ft. Lauderdale The ~8 minutes between verses is pure bliss. At some points it feels like an Eyes of the World jam. I think Red even hints at Eyes a few times. It has a very strong ending as well.

More to come fellasI liked this version except for the ending. It moved nicely and never seemed to loose momentum. Brian seemed to be playing in a different key than normal so they never got to that more typical huge buildup before dropping back into they lyrics. Still really fun to hear though.

@Wichita-Clem alla this, that show was touched
-
@Lopez idk man. 10/14/17 postman
-
Alright you crazy nerds. You will notice the original post has received a major update. I have combed through a lot of threads on the forum to get this list going again. I'm going a little crosseyed (but am relatively painless), but I think it is coming around. If you want to add anything, feel free to post it and if someone upvotes your post, I'll add it.
Also, there are quite a few "heavy hitters" that have either no recs or only 1...so all of you experts out there help us out.

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.
