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.

This show is the bomb. Not my fav tune, but this is a perfect version.
Wharf Rat
Nov. 21, 1973
Denver Coliseum

After the El Paso, it sounds like wharf rat intro but finds it's way into a beautiful dark star jam and then seamlessly into this wharf rat...WOW.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Augusta Civic Center

Love this show...revisited it. The Saint build up jam is as good as it gets. Tremendous version.
Playin' In The Band

Oklahoma City Music Hall

I love revisiting this version every few months. It's so good. I have no problem if someone says best ever.
Not Fade Away

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Great call guys. It's an angry version. 7/7/78 offers a unique NFA/NFBM, too.
