A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

They're still wound up after Samson. I mean those guys on the drums.

And all this time I thought it was a Chuck Berry classic. Huh.

Here's a question for you all. Did Billy ever resort to the cowbell when he was the only drummer? I don't remember ever hearing him using it. But I know Mickey is a big fan of all sorts of stuff he can bang on.

I like the solo but it's just a little too trebly for me. Did Keith use synth on this song much? Don't remember hearing it on other versions.

Only a listen to many of the June 1976 shows recently let me finally discover this gem. In fact, June has many of them, and it's worth your while to check out renditions of your favorite songs. And I have to say, although I prefer the single Jerry vocal on this song, Donna does harmonize well here.
