Usually a toss-off for me, and maybe it's Chuck Berry's passing that makes me think of it, but this version kicks serious ass. Deliberate and strong.

Crisp, articulate, deliberate. This is as strong a statement about what this song could be in '72 as I know. Airplay levels of concision.

Always loved this one early in the first set, 'cause it meant the boys meant business. This one has a loose, comfortable sound, but with high energy.

Masterclass from the Philzone here. He tears this one up.

Driven version. Purposeful, biting, and strong, with a high-tension wire energy. They meant business.

I listen to it again and again, always hearing new things. One of my favourite versions of one of my favourite songs.

Great transition. Brilliant jam through the transition. Just an enormous show through and through.

Beautiful and mysterious. This version is exactly what I love about this song - even the aud patches in my version add to its psychedelic glory.

Grab hold to something and try to hang on. Remember to breath.

Really nice Cryptical on both sides. The "outro" is smoking hot and almost as long as the TOO meat in the sandwich.
