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

This version just gave me goosebumps again today after many many times spun. Everyone should give this version a listen once 3/20 gets all the hype but 3/18 is just as solid IMO!!
