Reminds me of misspent college evenings at Duffy's Tavern playing shuffleboard when I should have been studying, so there's that yin-yang deal going on: kind of like the memories it conjures but, should I like it so much otherwise—doubtful.

Ahh the Band. I remember when I was across the great divide, up on cripple creek with my wheels on fire on the night they dragged old dixie down.

Weird experience: I have "Chest Fever" intro as my phone's ringtone for my wife. So, I'm plugging away at work with earbud's in just now listening to RP just now, when this song came on. Naturally, I grabbed my cell and couldn't understand why her name wasn't showing up in the incoming call display!?!

Needless to say, I love this tune. {#Confused}

I can see why after looking at the wiki below:

The introduction is based on Bach 's Toccata and Fugue in D minor . In live performances, this solo evolved into an improvisation drawing from numerous musical styles and lasting several minutes.

good stuff...

Nice Bill. J.S.Bach to the Band...seamless. Great organ work.
