constantly shifting gears from firey to spacy, hardly lets up for full 23 mins. A surprising gem from Euro '74!

A unique, interesting version due to the "china white". Has an almost country flavor with what sounds like a lot of slide guitar. A cool jam for sure.

YES!!!! One of the very best, my favorite of '67 by far. The Vaudeville meets punk ending the boys tack on is hilarious!
