Strangely enough, Neil (&DL), I've probably only heard this version a few times in the past. But those opening notes also bring back the pop hit by various others, including (of course) Donovan.

And all those versions are excellent too B !! I have never heard a bad cover of it because it is such a classic piece of music throughout the years.

Same with some other songs, many Stones ones... But also Neil Young's Cinnamon Girls. (Have you twoi ever heard-seen The Odds' version of it, live, in studio? It's the best! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99pxlAj2Cr8

Neal....what was the song before this.....I think the first song in the set right after Season of the Witch. She shot my shivers up the spine meter right off the map. Simply fantastic playlist this evening, my friend !!! And this familiar funky number that I cannot quite place at the moment. AAAAHHHHHH

Frank did an interview at CKCU when he was in town and insisted they do the interview in the bathroom. A couple of The Mothers told me the story when they were in town with Dweezil.
