Best version of 'the Jam'

One of my all time NPG jams wink Is 'The Jam'

Does anyone know if there is a definitive version that is known as the best? I often think that the 17minutes of mayhem on disc II of Paisley power is awesome, but just can't get away from the fact that Michael Bland really kicked ass when he was around. Plus still can't get over Larry hamming it up so bad on the vocals before he slaps hell out of the bass.

I think the NPG really nailed it night after night on the gold tour, but does anyone know of the Ultimate 'Jam'?

Thanks

JT

any version with either michael b or john blackwell behind the drums would b definitive by the NPG

kirky j's solos were always throwing it off
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
