| Date | City | Timing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1987-02-21 | Burlington, VT | 5:17 | Debut. Mike's bass playing is noticeably strong and funky even in this first version. |
| 1997-12-07 | Dayton, OH | 7:55 | Busted out after a 989 show gap and segues smoothly out of Wolfman's Brother. The '97 style outro jam is distinct and deviates from the structure of "Boogie" at 5 minutes and is played at a slower tempo than recent versions. Transitions to a hot "Reba". |
| 1998-08-02 | Noblesville, IN | 7:26 | Funk groove that sticks close to the "Boogie on" theme and features great contributions from all band members, especially Fishman. |
| 1999-07-25 | Noblesville, IN | 10:43 | Extended funk groove. Mike holds it down while Page and Trey play off each other very well. Returns to the "Boogie on" theme at 10 minutes. |
| 1999-09-18 | Chula Vista, CA | 21:30 | The intial funky jam seems to be coming to an end at 9 minutes, but the jam picks back up and grooves for a few more minutes while Trey plays lead before the jam shifts to soaring, melodic "hose". Returns to "Boogie" with breakdown solos from Mike, Trey, and Page. Must-hear. |
| 1999-12-02 | Auburn Hills, MI | 8:00 | Wah-groove from Trey. |
| 1999-12-11 | Philadelphia, PA | 7:50 | An extra funky jam kicks off a great set. |
| 2000-09-18 | Cuyahoga Falls, OH | 13:37 | Very improvisational version. Trey adds nicely to the basic outro, then the group moves on to a bluesy swing, swirling '00 funk, some rhythmic jamming, and a spacey transition with a -> to "Twist." |
| 2003-02-21 | Cincinnati, OH | 6:47 | Breakdown jamming. |
| 2003-12-02 | Boston, MA | 6:10 | 20th Anniversary edition. The jam shifts in the last minute to set up the segue into "Cities". |
| 2003-12-29 | Miami, FL | 7:04 | -> in from "Twist." Short, but definitely gets beyond "Boogie On" into a nice groove before -> to "Ghost." |
| 2004-06-26 | East Troy, WI | 12:43 | During the outro, Mike has a brief solo, and from there, Trey and Page take off, while Fish and Mike stick to "Boogie On" for a bit. The latter two don't hold on for too long before joining the hard rocking, very optimistic (for 2.0) jam with a -> to "Ghost." |
| 2009-08-02 | Morrison, CO | 16:30 | Dynamic and improvisational version that includes a "Twist"-esque jam and "Oye Como Va" tease from Page. The sentiment is very positive and upbeat (again). Must-hear for any 3.0 nay sayers. |
| 2010-07-01 | Raleigh, NC | 9:52 | In the encore slot. While basically "Type I", Trey provides a rich and celebratory melodic line to the basic "Boogie On" outro jam, which elevates this version considerably. |
| 2010-08-09 | Telluride, CO | 8:23 | Segues out of "Tweezer". Manteca tease from Page in the "plinko" jam with some footbell action from Mike. |
| 2011-05-27 | Bethel, NY | 9:03 | Staccato jamming gives way to a "Type II" slowed down, effects-laden outro and > into "Waves". |
| 2011-06-12 | Columbia, MD | 8:02 | Patient segue out of "Wolfman's Brother." Mike drops one of his ground-shaking bombs at 4:10. Great playing from Trey and Page in the outro jam before the > into "Gumbo." |
| 2011-08-05 | George, WA | 8:42 | -> in from "Meatstick." Trey and Page join Super Mike and all three rock this one hard, while Fish dutifully keeps everything in check. Technically "Type I," it's nevertheless a great version. > to "Farmhouse." |
| 2012-06-07 | Worcester, MA | 11:39 | Segues out of "Ghost" and includes some serious hose from Trey and reaches several satisfying peaks. Drops back into a funk groove for the last minute and the jam fades away into "If I Could". |
| 2013-11-01 | Atlantic City, NJ | 5:42 | > from "Meatstick". There's some extra funky mustard on this one and it also includes alternate lyrics referencing bush and kush, as well as a tease of the "Theme from the Rockford Files." Ends with a > to "The Wedge". |
