Nice and funky. Pigpen and the backup vocals sounding great.

From the time when first set songs were played with a pressing sense of emergency.

Do so many people dislike this song because they couldn't handle hearing Jerry sing "knock you down and beat you up and give your ass a kick"? Love that raucous instrumental break!!

This song deserves more love. The lyrics are absurdly funny and Jerry's guitar work is a little raunchy. A really nice blend, and a shame this song didn't last longer.

Man, I love this song!!! Solid vocals and a nice instrumental break. Worth a listen.

I've always really liked this song, and at times, it was my favorite thing to hear Bob sing from the first set. This version features top-notch, passionate and inspired vocals, along with some really nice keyboards from Brent, and Phil and Jerry sounding good too. Definately worth a listen and your consideration.

.....like this coming from The Tour From Hell, there is something very enjoyable here. Yes, there are versions with much better vocals and instrumental work, but things just kinda flow in the right direction. This is the final time the song is played.
