  • Dedicating this song to ROB IVON....supreme bassist - Rock on baby....

  • The vocals remind me of Iggy Pop: delivered with a bit of a sneer!

    Rick

  • The live version on Thirty Seconds Over Winterland is the best.

  • I'm surprised this album wasn't one of the Airplane's best sellers. Sure, Marty was gone, but it allowed Jorma to spread his wings.

  • i've got to thank Jim Carrey for intrducing me this band, it's frikin' awesome

  • who could possibly dislike this... and why?

  • I love this song. Heard it first on 30 seconds Over Winterland.

  • OUTSTANDING TUNE....back when bands could play, not the crap out nowadays. I would like to see these ole folks get in an arena with these wannabes and have it out. what a bloodbath it would be.........assholes and elbows. Young musicians zero, old hippies win! Hooray!

  • I always thought the "yep yep" sounded like Papa John's voice....if I remember correctly, the estended version on the Loves You box set did not have the "yep yep" in it...

  • Tight group!

  • JeffersonJukebox I'm glad to subscribe to you, I've only came across this band a few minutes ago and I just love them!

  • I love it too but what's up with the horrible low bass? :S

  • For MBJ...: )

  • This song would have been released as a single

  • According to Sammy Piazza (drummer from Hot Tuna), him and Michael Shrieve (of Santana) played drums on this song, not Joey.

  • mon album préféré,j'ai tripé grave la dessuset bien sur hot tuna le grandissime duo cassidy,kaukonen

  • @threefive00 guiro is a "maxacete" or "cañaño" or "piticlin" cachai?

  • damn good song

  • damn right!;)

  • One of the all-time great rock attitude songs - I'd listen to this over "Layla" or "Stairway to Heaven" any day. This recording is so alive. Jorma's singing and playing on this song is iconic - some of the best wah-wah pedal work ever done. Jack's huge tone on bass makes my marrow quiver with excitement. Joey Covington's high point with JA, also. Who's on piano, I forgot - Nicky Hopkins or Grace Slick? Even Paul Kantner is cool here on rhythm guitar (and I really can't stand him).

  • @audadvnc how can yuo not like paul kantner?

  • The live version at Winterland blows this away.

  • Yup,yup,yup.

  • I love it...

  • sorry to seem like an idiot, i guess i need to get some "fucking brains" as you put it. i've never heard of that instrument. my bad. i guess most people aren't the musical genius you are :)

  • ...you guys are complete idiots...

    thats not someone singing yup yup, thats a fucking instrument that you turn and it has beads on it

    i have temporarily forgotten what its called

    but i wish you guys had some fucking brains..

  • someone keeps going "ptsss" every half a second, now explain that!

  • Its called a goiro but are you sure its not a tape loop of someone going yupp yuup because jorma said they used to take lsd and watch the toilet flush for hours .

  • @MCSin2007

    i know what a guiro is, and that is obviously not a guiro

  • @MCSin2007 dude, ive been listening to music for years and if it is an instrument then its new to me............................­......know it all douche

  • @rwk1983

    exactly! a guiro is scrape-y sounding and high pitched. it sounds like Joey Covington saying 'Yep, yep'.

  • @rwk1983

    Yup you're right. If you listen to the demo you can hear someone going 'boom boom, yup yup'. You can hear what sounds like 2 more people singing the verse along with Jorma too!

  • the yup in the background is cracking me up

  • Somebody keeps singing yup yup in the background I guess thats their idea of country and western music [grace sounds like floyd cramer on the piano]

  • It got airplay in '71....nobody remembers

  • @oldaxekid i HEARD IT THEN ON FM

  • @oldaxekid Yeah. I think part of it is the fact that no one really thinks about the post-Marty Balin era of the band and they don't really pay attention to the stuff that came out at that time.

  • i love this piece!!!!!!!!!

  • nuthin smokes more than this song -the live version at winterland is absolutely fantastic too !!!!

  • osom song!!!!

  • This is good but do you have the incredible live version of it from 30 Seconds over Winterland?

  • JEFFERSONJUKEBOX HAS IT
