This is a clear and well delivered version of this song. Jerry's vocals are strong and Keith is adding some very nice honky-tonk piano!

Very solid bluesy show opener for what whould soon be a psychadelic explosion. Jerry's Gibson tone permiates your bones.

This is pure 69 psychadelic energy, at it's very best!

Crisp, clean and energetic. Bobby's guitar is up in the mix, and it was about 8 months before Keith's piano would step on his complex rythm work!

This is another example of the fantastic, energetic, psyhadelic magic that the boys got, post Mickey and pre Keith!

Good recording. You can hear everybody. Stellar, emotive playing by Jerry. Fourth on the Heady list is about right for this version.

^^ Great version from a great show. TC sounds particularly good on this one. Jerry's singing and playing are aptly emotional for this song. According to Heady voters, this is about the 10th best version of this song, that's about right I would say.

^^Agreed. The volume of Jerry's guitar could be higher and his vocal lower. Yes, at the time of this show the song was evolving from a fast paced psychedelic romp into a meaningful balad.

This is a really good 68 version.The boys aproched this song like their other psychedelic gems of the time, before the anthemic jam vehicle that it would become.

Absolutely furious. This was the Miami pop Festival; the east coast version of Monterey Pop. This was an early outing of the SG for Jerry. I see why he played only that guitar for another year.
