I used to love 'bama openers. I think the Dead may have liked Maine just a bit.

Harpur College

Probably needs to be separated here - Pig or No Pig versions . This being a brilliant Pig version of the song. He shines throughout this show, and gets excellent supporting vocals by the band with all around great playing.
Terrapin Station

Knickerbocker Arena

Some tight Brent playing in this Terrapin. Amongst my favorite of his work. Terrapon>MLB - yes please!

Swing Auditorium

First - best. Clean concise and extremely well-played. You can tell from the first notes that this version was going to be special.

Iowa State Fairgrounds

They take their time with the transition development. Both the Eyes and Big River are monsters.
