Dark with stanky Jerry riffs over Bobby whammy work. Right in my wheelhouse but might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Whole band flexes their muscles on this one - press play and watch the room spin.

Ragged in that good ol' GD way of well shit let's take a shot at this one... sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Doobie Brent showin' up with Bobby's shroomed out rhythm stylings and Jerry almost pulling the lyrics off makes me smile but then these were "my years" so I'm partial. I had this tape a week later and loved it - so much so I went to the Syracuse show the next year.

After smashing one of the BEST Throwin' Stones you've never heard.

Still love this version with Bobby channeling Dylan’s vocal delivery and then becoming more and more unhinged as the band blasts away. Go Bobby Go!
