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.

Springer's Inn Portland

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

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Both segments are great, but the Fire is phenomenal....love Brent/Jer on the final jam.
Franklin's Tower

Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

The transition isn't as funky, but this a helluva Franklin's. Brent is pretty funky on this. Loved this combo together!
The Other One

Civic Auditorium

This is not on the archive and DL put this nugget in the taper's section. What a fuckin' treat if u love this era for the O1 like I do. Oh yeah....and a juicy Cryptical that is required to be truly epic. I am not going to say its as good as 2/13, BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE LISTENED TO NOW before it goes back in the vault.

Kezar Stadium

Yeah...its torched...has a nobody's fault feel to it at end, also....always hoping this show will be released!
