    Between the 3 of us. We oughta try and do "The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" bit on this PBBB tune. Remember that "fad."? Kinda thought is was for schmucks to play back then. Kinda still do in a way,I guess. Nah,not me:I just answered an existentialism of my own for now.. I realized this shit,this batch kicked in.. hmm uh huh.. now when I typed um..I eh..saw..baked...aah. <( :

    I can live with a LIVE recording from back in those days. A rare precious gem. Michael's playing here, and the swingin' breaks with the whole band cookin', is probably even better than on the original album track---which I do own. The fact this recording exists makes me smile.

    Yes, well, I'm hearing the version that they recorded in the car between gigs, with a shoebox recorder. Nice....if you want to tie someone to a chair and play it to them over and over for some terrible wrong that they've done you!

    This version too tinny and off a TAD! (Totally Another Downer).. In Last.fm layman lingo a TAD means "Fuck you,you will hear what we want you to hear!".. Made me throw my headphones across the room cursing Last.fm!!!

    This band was the essence of blues rock before the term was coined and could blow any of the pretenders of the day off the stage. Mike Bloonfield! Damn he was good!!
