I always thought that extended-intro on he live version dragged on a bit... Eventually I learned exactly where to drop the needle to where it kicked-in to the "regular" part.

Lady, you're thinking of the Rare Earth Live album. The cover looked like a canvas backpack. I had it when I was a kid, I remember that part you're talking about.

They weren't at Woodstock and I do have a cassette of that concert, Lady. It's a Greatest Hits one; look for it. Great live performance of this.

Guitar player was Ray Monette, also played w/ Dennis Coffey, Meatloaf & The Funk Brothers. I saw Rare Earth in '72 w/ Coffey, the Chi-Lites & others. Monette played the ENTIRE set w/ Coffey, then RE burned the housed down. Rivera went down into the crowd with a snare drum. The crowd didn't want them to quit, but Chi-Lites were the headliners. House lights came on & Monette soloed while RE's equiment was being torn down. Rivera finally pulled the plug on Monette's strat & the crowd went nuts.

Who's the guitar player? I saw this when it first aired back in 74. I was in high school and I was a huge Jimi fan. I was impressed with this guy's playing style and I especially liked his low, tremolo bar (a/k/a whammy bar) dip at 5:44. (I just realized that I last heard it 34 freakin' years ago and it stayed with me all this time....wow...) At that time my ears perked right up: "He's using his tremolo bar! Just like Jimi! Cool!" (Hey, I was 16 years old.......cut me some slack.....;-)

I'll never forget this concert! I left Laguna Hills in the middle of the night and got to Ontario just as the sun was coming up. The tickets were $15.00 if I remember correctly. From the back of the crowd I made my way to the front by the stage and found my friend Bob Greco out of 200,000 concert goers. Seeing the Eagles in 1974 was really something. Had to hitch-hike all the way back to Laguna Hills. I couldn't make it to Woodstock, but this was the next best thing!

Oh, now I feel stupid. That organ part I longed for in my former comment is there, it's just almost completely buried in the mix and drastically shortened. And the faster tempo feels like it's happening because they're rushing through the song. Love Rare Earth, love this song, but don't like this version at all. Glad I wasn't there.
