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.

Mister Charlie

Rotterdam Civic Hall

Freedom says it all. Its amazing the level they played with all night including the 47 minute DS to Mister Charlie. I do think they were a little tired during UJB, tho.
Playin' In The Band

Rotterdam Civic Hall

I need to listen to this show at least once a month. Good place to start is this compact Playin' opener. Just sets the tone for the whole epic night. The thing gets tiger before you can get your first sip of scotch in. Its tight...its hot and then finishes with a forceful playin' theme!

Pine Knob Music Theatre

This one is better than anyone above and below it here.

Thanks for pointing out. Tremendous version. Definitely can hang with 8/27.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Sandstone Amphitheatre

Beast version from a summer tour with great S/F's...Deer Creek and Pine Knob. This 2 show run has some unbelievable setlists, but some great playing too.
