Here we are. It's about us. How could I not vote for it? Plus, and I am ashamed to say it, I don't know some of the songs on this list.

I guess I'm in the minority. I love ASPOL.
Here we are is a good song, but in my mind is on a studio album. Even if it is in video form. Either way, ASPOL gets my vote.

Here We Are. The perfect ode to parrotheads. If "Asking Us To Dance" had been on here it would have had my vote. IMO it is Jimmy's finest unreleased song.
Some people never find it, some only pretend; but me, I just want to live happily ever after every now and then.

although I am at peace with the fact that I will never see it in concert, I just get such a kick out of Caribbean amphibian.
Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.
I accept the new found man, and I set the twilight reeling.

And for the record, I don't think Bubba makes too many mistakes, but IMHO it was a HUGE mistake to make Here We Are a video hidden track instead of including the audio on the album.... Huge.....

even with the Dave Mathews reference in there?
Usually when he sings that part I say "speak for yourself"
To me that kills it. Pretty good lyrics up to that point. Plus the original concert version seemed to be sung better or with more feeling.
But from this list there is not much competition.
I'll go with A Salty Piece Of Land.
