A Homo erectus-like version but notable for Jerry's solo after the first Rio Grandee chorus.

Awesome early version. Jerry has a great solo at the end.

Jerry impassioned yet subdued singing in that ragged and worn voice is deeply affecting.

One of the all-time great 'EP'>'Eyes' transitions. Tablet double-post.

As far as Jerry's soloing in between the verses goes (--on the merit of that and the intro is what methinks makes or breaks a great Eyes--), that featured here, sure as cramps after disagreeable food, is good.

Like good poetry, quickly and efficiently says and does a lot. Hot show.
