Love the way it comes out of Dark Star roaring little Jam after the first verse.

This is sizzling fast, bobby sounds a little spaced. Very intense early amphetamine style. sounds like a 1966 tape it is so fast. not yet morphed totally into the psychedelic monster they would soon be.

Typical fast 1967 Pace, swiriling Organ, raw powerful guitar from Bobby and Jerry. Thumping Bass lines and nice drum rolls. A cool early version.

We space Ni@@ers greet you is said into the microphone before this version. Rather odd moment. Followed by some terrible jokes from bobby.
