Typically, it has been included near the end of setlists at peak energy moments of shows.

The song's only alternate version is found on ''[[Brotherhood]]'' under the title "girigiri chop (Version 51)", which is a refreshed version utilizing a different take of the recording sessions and featuring Mr. Big members [[Pat Torpey]] and [[Billy Sheehan]] on drums and bass, respectively.		#: [[File:s26_01.ogg]] {{girigiri chop Song}} The song's only alternate version is found on ''[[Brotherhood]]'' under the title "girigiri chop (Version 51)", which is a refreshed version utilizing a different take of the recording sessions and featuring Mr. Big members [[Pat Torpey]] and [[Billy Sheehan]] on drums and bass, respectively.
