"Lie in Our Graves" is one of the band's oldest songs, having been played by the full band on a regular basis as early as the fall of 1992 during the band's regular gigs at Trax Nightclub in Charlottesville, Virginia, and even earlier as a solo song for Matthews.
During the latter portion of the 2007 tour, the live performance evolved further still, as the band experimented with splitting the "reprise" portion from the rest of the song.
