Good vocals from Bob - excellent jamming from Bruce and Jerry. Isn't this song almost always good?

Bob channels his inner Pigpen. I dig it.

Listening to every version played, it's obvious that the band enjoyed playing it. It's a shame it was kicked aside like it was.

What makes this version stand out is Bob's guitar work. I know!!!

I love that bluesy guitar Jerry is playing early on and also how well he blends with Keith in the middle of the song. Good stuff!!

Is Jerry trying to deliberately sabotage this song? Once again, he plays some cringe-worthy sour notes.

There's a lot of room for improvement for this song, but it pretty much stays in its same awkward form. Jerry in particular doesn't seem to care about doing anything with this song.
