Strider Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I slightly embarrassed to have to be asking this, as I know I should know what this is but I just can't put my finger on it, soooooo.... I was listening to the "Dazed & Confused" from the May 14, 1973 New Orleans show, and just after the call and response part of the solo, the band breaks into this jam that sounds like a song I have heard before...but I am drawing a blank after racking my brain all day. To help out, I am specifically listening to Godfatherecords' "Drag Queen of New Orleans" boot, and the mystery jam lasts from approximately 21:00 to 21:35 of Dazed & Confused on Disc 2. It sounds killer and I don't remember ever hearing the band play this jam in any other Dazed & Confused, but something about the jam suggests another song. So if any of you out there have this show and can help identify the song this jam is based on, I'd greatly appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieShouldHaveListened Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 i think it might be some mid 60s british song (possibly yardbirds) or the little 10 second solo he does sounds a lot like CCR, so maybe it could be creedence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Maybe I should posit this in Steve Jones Mysteries thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Masson Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I am using a different bootleg for this show, but I just had a listen, and to me that passage sounds quite a bit like "Rollin' and Tumblin'". I am also hearing Jimmy quote "Crossroads" much earlier in the song, just before they do the San Francisco bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! It FINALLY came to me what it is...and when I tell you the answer you will see why I was embarrassed, as it should have been obvious to me. It's from the song "Cat's Squirrel" on Cream's "Fresh Cream" album and also played by Jethro Tull. Gaaaaa, how could I have forgotten that! Anyway, mystery solved.

They also play that within Communication Breakdown during the 28/9/71 Osaka show if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
