Default Track Talk: You Need Love

This is a real bootleg gem from the BBC sessions.
What do you think of it??
It's a real foot-tapper, as one of the comments on this youtube link says.

I love how the solo keeps to the theme, without drifting too far away... That's the thing, really. Peter was probably THE most able guitarist to do free form improvisations (ok, I know about Hendrix, Clapton, Garcia and several jazz guitarist... but anyway!! )
But Green really knew to keep it simple too!
I'm not sure if it is Danny who is playing the main riff, or it's Peter doing an overdub??? I don't have the recording date here in front of me right now. It could have been recorded before Danny joined.

I love his singing on this one too. Real rocker... Don't you smile when you hear "so nice, so nice, hahaha..." around 2:28. "I wanna give you some LOVE..."

I prefer this one to any other version, i.e. Led Zeppelin or others.
In some ways this one reminds me of Splinter Group's "Shake Your Hips".
