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.

Whole show deserves more hype with all the crazy bust-outs on borrowed instruments.

This one can really hang with 9/18...mostly cause the La Bamba is the most jammed out of the 4. With that being said after listening to all 4 of these GL>La Bamba>GL, which was fun as hell and I highly recommend doing. 9/18 remains the gold standard since the GL aspect of it is the best of the 4.

Not quite as intense as the bust-out on 9/7/1987. More chill feel to it. The Intro into La Bamba is better and the La Bamba is pretty tight. For me I like 9/7>9/13 just because of the insane energy on 9/7.

Just insane energy...can hang with MSG version on 9/18/87. The crowd just goes nuts with the La Bamba. The La Bamba is a little loose as expected. Transition into La Bamba is not as tight as MSG, but the outro is spot on.
