[ABSOLUTEAMI]

You did go all out! Good Stuff! ;)

[ELGROOVER]

Yea...! ;-) Cheers! ☺ ;-j

Fantastic cut - about 5 times better than the version on "Revolution...." - perfect level, unlike the '71 release. They should have used this cut on that release, though it too could use some "PG" edits.

Thanx.

[ELGROOVER]

Glad you enjoyed it ☺

I've not heard the "Revolution...." version ; I'll take your word that it's inferior to this, this cut here surely does kick butt. Not sure what you meant in your reference to, ' "PG" edits' though? ;-j

[ensconse]

Wouldn't be comfortable playing' it for the old folks on Sunday afternoon. They should have removed some vocal parts on these live versions, as they did on the original Brother Rapp (Let The Brother Rapp). Must have been exciting to experience at the venue but on record....uh-uh-uh...eeeeeaaaa­hhhhh! (Where's that Andy Williams album? jk).

Thank you.

[ELGROOVER]

hhmmm, well...if that's your choice, so be it. Play it or don't I say! :-) Not keen on censorship just for sensibilities sake myself, imagine how mundane life would become. Give 'em some Funk Brothers instead if James is too raw for 'em!?

lol @ the Andy Williams reference :-D Yea...I can hear it now....♪♫ He's playing solitaire.......a little hope goes up in s-s-s-SMOKIN'!!! EEEEYYYYAAA!! ♪♫ lol Cheers! ☺ ;-j

@PaulDA2000

Oh yeah? Well, dig the "Revolution" version I just posted with my own personal mix, which seems to have gone through this time! This is good, though!

[PaulDA2000]

@IkeDyson - Ike, this is a much better version as far as the mix goes. There is no comparison.
