Is there a better version than the one from the Siket disc?
Been listening to Siket on vinyl lately and I could listen to side 1 (my left toe, the name is slick, what's the use) on repeat all day.
I personally loved the Magnaball WTU. The quiet part was one for the ages. You could hear a pin drip on that field with 35,000 people. A near perfect rendition.
They just never seem to quite approach the power of the studio version.
Would love to hear about any other good ones I'm missing.

Fish, introduced as “Flagina Fishman,” took a vacuum solo during I Didn’t Know wearing only stars and stripes boxers. This show featured the debut of What’s the Use?. After Carini, the band reprised the chorus of Meatstick while part of the crew and a few fans did the Meatstick Dance. The band performed the second encore in stars and stripes outfits. The show was followed by a fireworks display.

Ned, hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
I trust you are keeping those hands protected from the cold dry CO winter.

Frank, that's a good one, thanks. Never heard it before. '99 was a great year for that tune.
That hiss is part of the texture, Felina.
What's The Use is really more of a place than a song....like an aural Cavern where we plumb the depths of our own souls. Re-emerging into the light can be a cathartic thing if it all goes right.
