Shocked that I get to submit this a day after the 50th anniversary! Incredible version with a very melodic, well-structured solo and a great SSDD!

Playin' In The Band

Transition finds a really unique space...like they stumbled upon a peaceful little meadow along the way and wandered in for a minute :)

This one is groovy as hell! Has me bouncing around in my seat every which way (and it's not just the couple cups of coffee I've had)!
