A lot of their early (pre-Donna) stuff can be pretty pitchy, but is super high energy. Also nice drums on this.

I know it's almost meaningless because it's said so often, but Jerry hits a deep vein of musical and lyrical inventiveness during this month, and this is another great example.

Poignant lead by Jerry, but I've always loved Phil's lick before the first verse. If you love some melodic bass playing, check it out.

You can just hear the cocaine in the increasingly extended vamps. If you want to hear where the early version of this song became the later one, I'd include this.
