A dreamy, airy, beauty right here...Phil riffs all over it Jerry's vocal and the harmonies are special.

This Deal just KILLS stylistically...JG high quality vox over a jook joint smokey pace with two wicked strat attacks... this is an early humdinger!

Relentless attack that is exhausting in the best way possible. When you need an Other One to get you there but don’t have 30mins to burn (although let me stress there is nothing wrong with that) Might be one of the best OO’s you’ve never heard and dag-gum it this rips like audio brown- brown. If you survive -the journey to Caution is well worth it. The Eleven is blistering and the Caution is sonic brutality. Killer show to dig into.

‘71 is an all round killer year. This tune never failed to deliver whatever inner reflection the band was transmitting much the same as PITB would as well thru the years. But for my dollars mostly ‘72 back to origins is where the devil’s work was best done.
