    Jam chartThe return of Fish's intro affords a welcome old-school vibe, pleasantly offset by the band's latter-day spacious, breezy sound. Check out 2/3/93; 2/9/93; 2/12/93; 8/20/93; and 6/7/95 as a means to explore the song's fantastic history and evidence of a workingman's band "writing" on stage.

    Jam chartEmerging on the back of a sneaky segue from "Tweezer", the band, led by Trey, delivers a version notable for its bounce and heft. More confident than exploratory, Trey's lines never falter or hesitate on the back of the band's rhythmic punch, particularly Page's fine piano play.

    Jam chartAt 5:45 the jam moves beyond the standard into medium intensity, rhythmic and mildly funky play. The funk builds, then the jam shifts to an uplifting melodic section which sounds similar to "Paradise City" and/or "Roll With the Changes" before actually returning to the customary closing.
