Definitely a sleeper gem. Just exactly perfect. Vocals, groove, execution... They all come together here!

So damn funky; killer groove. I'm a stickler for vocals, and Bob sings this one beautifully. High energy '77 version.

5/11/77 > 5/8/77 IMHO. Execution is near-perfect. If you like Cornell, check this one out from only three days later and compare.

Cliche to say "I can't believe this isn't on here," but I'm sayin' it! It's perfectly and beautifully executed. The definitive '73 version.

a great example of balls-out energy while being able to hold it together. i never paid much attention to this song until i heard this one!
