Phish, Sample in a Jar

I assume you mean the studio version. Phish has lots of tunes that pretty much bite in the studio, but really open up live. I think this is one of them. Crappy as a four-minute polished tune. But unbelievable as a first-set closer. Especially with the lights.

Correct. I heard it for the first time live in Washington, DC, in December 1993 and thought it was amazing. When the album came out I distinctly remember thinking "uh-oh". That also applies to most of Hoist in general, but Sample is what sticks out in my mind.
