With the boys from NRPS and some lovely three part (four???) harmony.

One of the more sensible "get your hands out of your pockets" raps ever. Plus a nice long simmering jam coming out as part of one of the most eclectic and powerful jams of 1970. In fact it's fully coherent with the 'kitchen sink' jam before it, like they wanted to try out the material in completely new combinations. Explorers, cosmonauts, architects of the mind. I can't say it enough. The whole thing: Alligator>Drums>Jam>LL>NFA>LL has got to go into that special pantheon of one-of-a-kind jam segments that bends all sorts of rules. Whatta night this one was.

Everything. This is it. The jam is hyperreal, and if you want to ride the cusp between the primal and country dead, then here's your sound, man. Take it. Do you remember, friends, that Alligator, Caution, Stephen, We Bid You, and Lovelight are all the same - not in the sense of repetition and dullness, but in the sense that all is all and everything is everything and with music we touch the universal? Did you know that Bid You Goodnight is also an electricofunkaspacehardrockadelic Darkness jam? Listen, and be there, and know.
