Lightning Bolt (song) First Time Live

I like Lightning Bolt. It's not my favorite, but I've always been a fan of it since the first time I heard it. Which, coincidentally, it was first played live at Wrigley in 2013. Nobody had ever heard it. That performance of it was really strong. It was after the big storm and there was all kinds of steam blowing around the stage from the big temperature change. I think it might be the best performance of it they ever had. Eddie is so into it. Especially at the end when he curses in the middle of the lyrics. For those that haven't seen it:

    I think it's a solid live song. Good energy.

    Yes.. And it lends itself well to a good old fashioned jam!
