Question for people that not only went to a bunch of shows but have listened to bootlegs (official or otherwise) and watched videos:

I just re-listened to the Hartford version of Lightning Bolt and good god is Mike absolutely HAULING at the end. Like...one of the best solos I think I have ever heard from him. I went back and listened to the other 4 versions I saw, and Hartford wins easily (Brooklyn 2 was tight too).

My question: what other version(s) should i listen to?

My criteria, if I may put a little control on this:

Don't answer with "I was there and I remember it rocking". I thought the same thing about Worcester 1...until I then compared it to Hartford and realized it's no contest. Being there is great, but a re-listen helps me even more...if you've listened to it again and still think it rips...I'm all in.

    I have been checking out youtube all morning, and the closest thing I can find to Hartford is the version from Phoenix which is pretty damn smoking too.
