Done at a slower tempo with more swing and less drive than the studio cut, which is one of the greatest tracks they ever put on record - Butter and Bloomfield lock in on the break there....
Paul did cover this on his debut album 'The Paul Butterfield Blues Band' a few months later but that studio version was nowhere as urgent or pacey as this. Record producer Paul Rothchild was keen on a debut album of live cuts and tried but failed. A mixture of studio cuts and stuff done at Newport might have been tried.
Saw them at the old Fmo 1966 I think it was. Mind blowing.

Long and spontaneous solo by the faboulous Mike Bloomfield (only 22 years old was his age)
