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.

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

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