Surprised this isn't listed yet. This version is by far the best with the horns, with Jerry and Martin really getting into it with some fiery leads!

Unusual and fiery version making up the meat of an otherworldly Playin' sandwich.

Without question, the best Crypt reprise ever performed. This one reaches the limits of space and time.

First ever Scarlet Begonias. Very unusual sound with a very tentative, bluesy feel, but it's still a keeper and worth hearing for the novelty at least
