The boys had the odasity to play this song during their set at Giants stadium during the Dylan and the Dead tour, and rightfully so!

If it wasn't for some audio glitches, this would be one of the top versions of this song. Keith and Donna are both outstanding on this one.

A brilliantly played O1 that has been tragically overlooked. The mix on this is spot on.

There is a nice guitar interplay between Jerry and Bobby on this one. Nice bouncy version.

Other than some talking on this recording, this is a really good version.

I dig Jerry's solo too,^ I accept Bobby's screeches, at least it's not Donna. The instrumental quality of this show more then makes up for it.

This a bouncy , energetic rendition of this song. Strong playing by everyone. Jerry's voice is in very good form here and his Strat playing is just right for this song. This entire show is good. The Miller source is the way to go on this one.

^Yes, those Miller versions never let you down. Jerry's Strat work on this song, and other blues songs, is much more spare and twangy then his Gibson solos. This was a unique and wonderful period in their carrier.

Another under appreciated 69 treasure. 50 years ago, my friends! where is your hunger for history?

You're really mining the early hidden gems Mr. PeaCH. This version is too good to be languishing on the bottom of the list! It looks like you're right in my wheel house of taste, the 67 through 69 psychedelic cookers. Not to take anything away from the later era, it's just a different bag!
