Take Me To The River

Pyramid Arena

Epic bust out in Memphis, the home of Al Green. Sorry, Talking Heads did not write the song. Firm believer this was the best run in 1995.

Another great acoustic version from 1970. Alot of heady stuff from these shows.

Its kind of a chill slowed version. Doesn't make it any less heady, though. Just different.

Excellent pre-drums. The Corrina>Playin'>UJB was a nice treat. This reprise builds up super nice and extremely patient. Love the midi-flute with Bob's anger riffs. This reprise is better than most Playin's from this era.

Gave it another listen during breakfast today. This one can hang with the big boys. Definitely top 5 and can hang with numbers 1 and 2. Has more length than the top 2.
