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!

This one is a cornucopia of song quotes. The drummers are especially good ion this version.

Yes Phil was in the "Phil zone" for this one. This version is a prime example of the 68 Dead. Pure psychedelic energy and precision. You can't discount Pigs B3 playing, more aggressive and energetic then TC, who would join the band 2 months later. Good call on the Mike Lai source DS67. It's to bad that all of the vocals are on the left channel.

Just 3 days after Mickey left the band. Single kit crispness here.

^^Yes, they really deliver the goods on this one. There are so many good O1s but this one really stands out. There was something about the Fillmore East that really energized the boys!
