Thanks to the nice angle David has on this performance, you can easily see that McGuinn is playing a 7-string guitar. This rather unique instrument was built for Roger by the CF Martin Company and has the G-string "octaved" with two closely-spaced strings tuned like the G-string on a twelve string guitar.
wasn't that one of the cited reasons about why DC got pissed off? :/
good song ... worked well on TNBB, but DC wasn't happy - Triad didn't go on it.
vinyl was a bastard. in a CD age, DC's songs could have been on that - oh, they were! reissues ... but yeh .--- that song seems to have some ... vitutusarvoa (as we would say in finland) about it :/
This is the first time I've ever heard him do this song live in 40 years! I always wished I could request it at his shows.

@psychobollox When he started playing 'Wasn't born to follow' I started biting my lip.
