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

Seeing the Sunshine Daydream video takes it to a new level. I don't know if Phil's voice ever sounded better than this version!

If I could tab one of the moments in GD history this song would be it. The first time I heard it it was immediately burned into my soul forever. Beyond beautiful!
