One that doesn't get talked about nearly enough (that I happened to hear the other day) is 6/24/00. Shit is 15+ minutes long and opens the show. Check it out, then stay for the Tweezer.
Score: 2
Also, while I don't give Moma the comparative scrutiny I/you/we reserve for "jamming" tunes, I was pretty convinced at 12/28 (and ever since) that that was the best Moma of 3.0. Lots of extra mustard. Anyone care to convince me otherwise?
Score: 1
We'll never really know how good that Moma 12.28 could have been... If only the MSG staff had a better plan for getting us into the show.
Score: 3
6/24/00 is really damn good and never gets mentioned

Black eyed katy is the correct answer

If we are talking Black-Eyed Katy, I go with 11/23/97.

Coney Island...the vocal over Trey's guitar line is very lively and seeing that it was the beginning of the end (or so we thought), at the time and listening back years later it has some extra special significance for me. I think it's very inspired.

Moma Dance just needs to be slowed down and it will be that much better again.

My moma's dance from this past christmas for sure! Too much eggnog and Harry Connick Jr. gets her groovin!

02/26/03 is my favorite Moma and one my favorite 2.0 jams period.
I will never get people who hate on 2.0. The jams flowed so freely in this period.

Just came in to say this.
Moma Dance is, imho, all about working the wah peddle. The amount of quack or 'Q' as wah wah afficianados call it influences how funky Moma Dance can be. Sometimes the opening has this huge Waaaah-wah sound that syncopates with Fish and Mike and gets everyone moving. 3.0 Momas all feel incredibly perfunctory to me, because there isn't a whole lot of 'Q' to them. Rather than Waaaaaah-wah, they go 'weh'. That said, I'd describe the Philly fall 09 version as one of the quackier, and therefore better, ones.
7/15/98

I also love the Farm Aid version from 1.0 and the Woosta version from 2.0.My fav 3.0 is probably Fenway. Fish just absolutely brought it!

no question in my mind. Lakewood 2000. think its 6/24/00
Score: 0
... not 9/17/00. Trey repeatedly misses the cues. The jam is okay, but the beginning section is almost embarrassing.On the flipside, one favorite that hasn't been mentioned yet is 7/19/98 Shoreline. The beginning section is stretched out, but everyone is playing together.

I'm a 2/26/03 person.I know it's popular to prefer BEK to Moma Dance. I used to be that way too, but I think it was just a preference for thicker, funkier versions of the song.
If the funk is laid on thick in a Moma Dance (as in Worcester '03 and the OP version), I like it more. I enjoy the lyrics (as in they don't annoy me) and feel that they make it a more fully-developed funk song. As long as it's slow, funky, and jammed out, it's just plain better to me than BEK. Unfortunately lots of Momas are pretty cookie cutter and don't stack up to BEK because of it, but it's not because of the lyrics...
edit: Also, what's with Fish's mic in the OP video?

I personally love the lyrics to Moma Dance. They give the song a chilled groove section in the beginning before the real meat of the song comes along in the jam. I don't see a problem with it at all.
