There's also a version by UFO that I've always liked.

I like The Hawk's version a lot, but QMS owns that song.

Yep it's a fine version too and I'm pretty sure I've got a live version here on cassette somewhere.

The Door's version is just too "Jim" for me.

Sorry, but the Dead are pretty coma-inducing to me

QMS, Ronnie Hawkins ain't bad, and Thorogood is just too whitebread sounding to me.

The Dead are great musicians, but I just could never get into them. I was more of a Zappa fan. When visiting friends I'd fall asleep to the Dead.

Q.S's 12+ minute version from Lost Gold & Silver.

(which btw contains an 11+ min Mona, and a really good Acapulco Gold & Silver - just a great album all around).

Quicksilver for me, too... but really, you blew a golden opportunity to ask:
"Whose 'Who do you love' do you love?"

Now THAT would be kick a$$!

This is, of course, the famous "live" album.

If you guys don't own this one... You should :yes: :yes:

Really good test for speakers, if you can hear the firecrackers going off onstage, center right, on "The Answer" the albums opening cut.

Oh, and run out right now and buy Franks newest live release "(Mon)Real Live"

Two cd's of jaw dropping rock, blues, and plenty of surprises :thmbsp:

Frank is one of the worlds finest guitar players, IMO. Top 5, for sure...

I don't know about the Dead being "coma-inducing" but in this instance, Quicksilver has them beat by a country mile.

Best,

To clarify things, is Quicksilver the same band as Quicksilver Messenger Service?

I apologize to all Deadheads for my dumb remark.

Yup, Quicksilver is the generally accepted familiar for QMS.

And, we accept your apology. We're too mellow and definitely too old to fight about it...

Best,

David

Hi
Have to go with the original Bo D version - but Ronnie Hawkins version on 'the last waltz' is a blast and great fun - especially his hat waving on Robbie Robertson's guitar solo

Cheers

I'm listening to their Happy Trails version as I type this.

In my opinion its Quicksilver. Hard to believe their version off the Happy Trails album was from a concert held 40 years ago. John Cippolina was a great guitarist - rest his soul

For me it's The Hawk, followed by QMS in a close second - and nearly a tie.

Don't know about it causing comas, but the music of the Dead can be strangely soothing..

Tapehead47
07-02-2007, 06:05 PM
Yeah, Mystic. Too much soothing equals 'nap time' for Rick.

On second thought, it's a toss-up between Townes Van Zandt and Al Bowlly.

Definitely Bo's version but I also like the version on Santana's Harvest Moon LP
