Even in 1971, Jerry could botch the lyrics.

Really good version. Jerry's vocals and guitar work are spot on. Phil and Keith both put in some nice work. Did Bob take a bathroom break?

Playing this song with Jerry's voice in the shape it's in is questionable at best. That aside, he plays some mean guitar during the instrumental break. Best ever? Not even close, given Jerry's constantly faltering voice.

There isn't much room in this song for Jerry to cut loose, but he does a fine job here.

Jerry puts in some nice guitar work, but Bob's voice is shot and at times sounds awful.
