Somehow even Bob's slide works on this one.

An unlikely suspect. Not the opener and not the best, but absolutely unhinged. (Rick Pauline, Senn 421)

This one has it all, Garcia channels his mid 70's vocal range and dials it in for this soulful creeper. Seek out the Bob Menke FOB (AUD)

Funny you should ask: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhXCIrQsCxw&feature=c4-overview&list=UUorauauam2xqXpdtomXtPmQ Does not disappoint, love the groovy intro. The interplay with Phil and Jerry in Slipknot is sublime. Voodoonola2 is a saint.

Slow, yes but not many like this. Truly a unique version and an exercise in tempo. Works for me.

Not too fast, not too slow (maybe a little). This one is just about perfect to these ears.

Just took a ride on this one, glad to see it already here. Sweet, methodic, with purpose…it's legit. Pure soul.
