I’ve always marveled at how strange that chorus is –I thought it might have been a recording trick, but now that I hear the live version…that beat right after he says “don’t go to my head” is just a fraction of a beat short of the natural upbeat. It blows my mind.

@PurgeInsurgency I totally agree..That chord that hits seemingly premature in the chorus after "dont go to my head" has blown my mind since I first that...and the ensuing 8- count ascension....cool as shit

@RedxRainbow why is he evil?

[Witlessandtitless]

@themonkees1969 I think he's referring to the red-eye! My flash lit up his eyes ..

Great song, great band and great photos!

One of the best guitar solos of all time, IMO

@RedxRainbow

Yeah...and that's Richard's EVIL solo at 3:03. Pretty good sound for one of the most notoriously badly recorded live bands. These Sheffield recordings seem to be the best on YouTube.

cooool ! it's fun.

[Witlessandtitless]

yep never did get the hang of red-eye removal!
