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.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

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.

Not sure why this has so few votes. Its a great 10 minute version! Its not 1977, but its just the next tier below. Clearly it was an epic night and more was done for this 1/2 Step than usual.

Deadbase has the first Mind left the body jam occurring in 1973, but clearly the last 6 minutes of this DS is a beautiful up-tempo MLTBJ, which adds to this awesome DS.

Winterland Arena

This ones the best of 1977. It comes in at 11.5 minutes which is longer than most from this era. It has such a cool chill jam at the end as it melts and then dissolves into St. Stephen...oh and BTW its after an epic 32 minute H/S/F. Sorry that I comment on this show way too much, but it deserves it.
