Re: Outstanding Versions of Songs List
This thread is to create a definitive list of outstanding versions of each song.In order to get a song on the list, reply to the thread with a suggestion, and if another poster upvotes it, it will be added.
If there are multiple songs in a post, reply to the post and state which song(s) you are upvoting.
Once I've added a suggestion to the list, I'll upvote your post as well to let you know it's on there. If your post has upvotes but I haven't added it, it's because there are multiple songs/versions in your post and no one has replied to indicate which one they're upvoting.
In addition, here are few Nugs Playlists to get you going:

Welcome @GeorgeBailey. I can't say I'm an expert... and eventually you'll also discover that I'm always wrong. But there's one thing I know... the 1/25/17 version of The Remedy is unparalleled.
Love the idea for the thread. Let's do this NERDS!
ps: A good place to start is with some of the jams discussed here: https://forum.spaffnerds.com/topic/259/best-jam-of-the-northeast-run-fall-tour-2017
but don't stop there. We'll definitely build out this list. -
stuck in the middle with you from 12/31/14 is the best version of that song imho. haven't listened to the whole jam in a long time because i spliced the bliss peak (about 6 mins) into its own track to get right to the good stuff.
enjoy:

You can also find all shows linked up in the spaffbase. So if you don't want to download, and you just want to stream, or if you want to download the whole show, try the show page for 12/31/2014. Also, that was my first show

I could argue that the one from 2012-07-04 is better
-
I'll nominate 2017-10-01 as the best version of It's A Bunch.
-
and 2017-10-19 definitely has the best version of Bee Jam!
-
Ok, see the top post again...I've committed to something that I may regret keeping up with later, but oh well!
-
@Cody i got a ups driver in spafford when he walked into my office to drop off a package and that jam was playing. great version.

Fantastic work!!!

2017-09-28 version of Mind's Unchained should be listed imo.

I like the idea of someone cosigning each suggestion. If we're looking at this list over the long haul and want the best of the best, then it's seems like a good idea to have at least two people agree that it's a "Best version". Or I can just add every suggestion that is made. Y'all let me know.
-
@GeorgeBailey I think a second opinion is best to keep the list good. AND that will make it fun because now we have to go listen to @Frito-Pie's recommendations to be sure! (Although I trust his judgement) Lol
-
@myanruth I love it
