This could have been the debute of this song. A very young Bobby is kind of yelling it. It's interesting to hear how these early covers evolved.

This is a beautiful and emotional version, it's hard to hear over the crowd noise, but they where digging it!

Bobby was singing with clarity and authority on this one. This is a good tight version.

Billy and Micky lay down a tight rythm for every one to lock into, and they do. Crowd noize on all sources that i've heard.

Thanks darkstar 67, the 04-15-70 Lai & Gucka source is so clean and very well mixed. That Dire Wolf version is the same length as the one from the Club agora show, but a different solo, better I think. That show has a different set list then the other two 04-15 recordings. I wonder what's up with that!

Bad recording, but a good, heartfelt, version of this wonderful song.

Bad audio, but a good heartfelt version of this song, Jerry was at his "high-lonsome" best on this one.

This was one of Keith's very early shows. He was already contributing some very nice piano parts to these songs, which was a very new thing for the band. This song has a lot of energy and good playing, good choice, Cucamonga!

I agree with all of the above statements. This song, as well as the entire show, is exicuted and mixed perfectly, or close to it. Jerry"s singing and Bobby and Brent's harmonies are so good. It is a little weird that 50 seconds into the song the crowd noise completely drops out of Jerry's vocal channel. But overall, I love this version.
