Once again, wishing I had come of age in the '60s! Although a couple of the "Day on the Green's" in Oakland, Calif. in the late '70s were mighty awesome.

They were leaving there roots during this time period. Trying to capitalize on the Grateful dead IMO. Didn't last long before they turned back to their acid rock roots.

Bobquack1, I never met ANYONE else that ever heard the Gary Yoder version.  It kicked ass!  I had one copy of it but it got lost (along with all my other albums when I went into Rehab). Do you have it?

One of my faves. The Gary Yoder version is on the single, phrasing is quite different from Dickie's version. Also there seems to be some disagreement on the lyrics. I'm not even sure the ones on their website are correct. But you can decipher them from both versions of these and they don't match what's on the internet.

Did anyone ever hear the Gary Yoder version? He actually wrote the song, and recorded it with the band, but the vocals on the '4' version was Dick Peterson. Great song. Once again, the three chord format can't be beat for sending chills down the spine and raising the hair on my arms.

I used to have a version with Gary Yoder singing it with them...he wrote the song and it was pretty good. Rare, though. I've been lokking for it for a long time. Great, simple rock and roll.
