Oh yes…good to see the CCR boys grooving along there. Disappointed that Duck’s not rocking his pipe though. And wasn’t Al Jackson the loosest, lopingest drummer what ever was?
The MGs are still a benchmark for cool – is there really a better feeling than entering a venue, preferably a subterraneaun club & upon opening the inner door hearing Green Onions pumping out? You know it’s going to be a good night.
Talking of Green Onions, anybody else familiar with the manic live version, recorded in Watts, LA – just before the riots ensued? It was on a free Mojo/ Uncut Soul Riot CD a while back – the antithesis of the familiar cool finger popping version – genuinely electric.

Gives me an excuse to post this yet again.
Oh man,pass the spliff!
