    I watched the palladia showing of Live @ The Paramount from Halloween 1991 a few weeks ago. This version is craptacular. Has a bit of everything.

    Start at 3:49 - a young Grohl leads into the song like a madman. Love it!

    Drain You is a great one for sure. It's up there on my list.

    I also love: Breed, Aneurysm, Scentless Apprentice, Stay Away, Lounge Act, Frances Farmer, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Love Buzz.

    And so many more.

    I generally use "craptacular" when describing something completely underwhelming and horrible.

    Opposite of that. :lol: I may use it incorrectly but I use it to indicate mind-blowing, shit your pants spectacular. Either way, this version is pretty sweet. Played it about 10 times on the big screen - enjoyed the palladia hd showing of this concert. If you missed it check it out -- I think they are playing again soon.

    This is on right now; definitely a kick ass version and one of my favorite songs.

    I'd say best of all is either that, Swap Meet, Lounge Act, Sliver, Talk to Me.
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there....

    "Serve the Servants" is a great album opener and one catchy chorus. Love that song so much.
