This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

Man o' man the Intro is so smooth. Then the outro jam is trippy and very unique. It does sound like Jer on cid. You don't know where it's going - maybe O1? - then flows nicely to drums and then into a very good Samson. The He's Gone versus are also just exactly perfect.
