It's to bad that the audio quality is so bad on this one. the playing and vocal harmonies are on the money.

The steel guitar, which I assume Jerry is playing, really helps to make this early version a good one.

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!
