Epic 11:09 Version. IMO one of Pigpen's best efforts of any song, Starts off slow and haunting building into a monster jam!

From one Colorado guy to another thanks for your enthusiasm of this version. I read often while listening to shows and this version of this song made me drop my book( and jaw) and brought a tear to my eye. GD the X-mas present everyday of my life :)
