That sure brought back memories.

Oh yeah, I assumed that long old classic rock & funky song should have bring you some good memories one way or another. Since I suspect that many here already know that we are not chicks just hatched from the shell. LoL

There's only one time I heard the longer version of that song and that was back in my twenties when I use to go out to the bar and dance.

If you only knew that for me the best recording and long version of this legendary song was the one that was recorded and performed live at Jacksonville, Florida - Civic Coliseum; Miami, Florida in 1971. And which is only included in the double vinyl album of the olive green backpack. Because the true, more funky and groovy version of this song does not even appear in the edition that of this famous album was issued on CDs.

Ha, just let me tell you that when I used to play it at my clandestine parties as DJ a long time ago, this song was always so funky and groovy that it not only filled the dance floor when I played it, but I could then mix it with other long rock classics like Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and Eric Burdon & War Tobacco Road followed by Santana's Soul Sacrifice in a row to end up with Ten Years After I'm Going Home Live and have them all sweating for more than a hour on the dance floor without any of them daring to stop or abandon my funky drubbing no matter how tired or sweaty they were.

I never had any set pattern or dance methods, just never missed a beat with those feet, lol.

Oh yeah, I believe you. I even can imagine you not missing a step at one of my old, legendary and wild parties even nowadays.

One particular band had gotten use to me coming in there and I think they played that long version to see if I would actually hang that long for one song.

Ah, those smart and lustful guys who wanted to see you dancing and shaking all your assets for more than twenty minutes at a time. LoL

Well babe, I hope I didn't stir up your dance memories too much today and that you're going to accuse me later of making you lose too much weight over the weekend with all the wriggling and sweating.
