7/29/98 Riverport Amphitheater, Maryland Heights, MO. This is widely considering some of the band’s best playing. Clocking in at 24 minutes, this jam is so phenomenal, in fact, that people have suggested that they rehearsed this exact version, obviously differing from the improve playing that they are known for. Although there is another version of this song on youtube, that one is cut short; you can hear the whole piece here, from beginning to end.
