Two Step Intros
In the early days of 92-93, the song frequently featured a "Shortin' Bread" interpolation towards the end of the song.After the summer of 1994, the last verse evolved beyond the mere repetition of "That's my blood down there".
Starting in 1995, a stop-time intro began to occasionally be played during full-band versions. After 1996, every full band performance of this song has included a stop-time intro. In 1999, fans from the original nancies mailing list began organizing to chant "Woo!" during the stop-time intro.
By the summer of 2000, the "Woos" caught on and are now a standard crowd chant at the start of every Warehouse.Dave and Tim versions have continued to contain the original intro, as well as a "Passion" Intro where Dave interpolates the vocal chords from Peter Gabriel's Passion.
Starting in 2003, the jam evolved what has come to be known as the 'salsa jam' outro with a more celebratory 'salsa' vibe.Dave has also interpolated "Louie, Louie" a few rare times during the outro.
