As someone who dabbles with the drums, I'm more receptive than most when it comes to extended instrumental passages. "World Turning" works well both as a studio cut and a vehicle for Mick's percussion solos. I'm aware that the drum vest portions of the solo are often dismissed out of hand, but it does make for compelling performance art.
