Currently listening to Judas Priest ~ Screaming for Vengeance.
Steve Roach - The Passing Time, from Dreaming Now, Then: A Retrospective (1997). Another great long-form track from the master!
I saw Sweaty Teddy back in the day do this song live........... He was laid out on the floor, red lights on him, jamming that guitar while laying on his back, shirtless............. what a show and what a memory, thanks for posting this!
Digging this song................... Blondie made it a worldwide hit, but it's always fascinating (to me) to hear the original............... 1967, my birth year............... 
Now playing Grateful Dead - Live At The Fox Theatre, St. Louis, 1971.
Love this band, this song, and this vid… especially the jam session starting at 6:26:
Renfield got me goin' down a rabbit hole again...surprise surprise!
Grateful Dead - Cream Puff War, from Grateful Dead (1967). The late "Pigpen" on the Vox Continental organ. I was reading the late Ray Manzarek's book Light My Fire: My Life With The Doors, where he describes a bizarre interaction he had with the guy back in San Francisco in 1966 or so. Refused to let Ray use his keyboard, that's the long and short of it! Perhaps he didn't want to be shown up. Or maybe Ray said something about a large organ, and it got taken out of context...who knows? All I know is that copious amounts of drugs and/or alcohol were involved; there can be no doubt.
Enjoy!

Melvin probably wasn't the most technical player, but he was kinda my favorite............. I think he knew how to "Read" a song and go with it, and that's good enough for me..............
Some Cream… might me the best all-time guitar bridge at 1:07
Trent Reznor knew this song was no longer his after Johnny’s performance ?
Pigpen and Manzarek. Now that would’ve been a blast to watch. Probably even funnier to listen to.
