not sure who wrote this.
this is the best version I've heard.
the groove is all over the place...at the same time it is locked in tight!... how can that be?

eight bars two chords!...is that a lee oskar harmonica?

I believe it was written by Bobby "See You Later, Alligator" Charles, who sang on his "Last Train to Memphis" album.

Another great version is on the Paul Butterfield - Blues Harmonica Master Class CD. Just his voice and harp.

i bought the woodstock album for 5 or 6 bucks
just the other day didn't care for it to much
that song on the album just does not swing

listen to the clip with the paul schaffer band
sounds like it is unrehearsed.
maybe paul arrived late to the rehearsal?
maybe they played it one time thru without him?

maybe it's just me!
but i have a hard time counting it out
it sounds almost like they are lost covering for each other. then the next time i play it it seems exactly right on time. it swings that's for sure.

the album track is easy to count,very predictable
it does'nt swing

i like his members only jacket
i had one like that.cant remember if i bought one cause they were cool
or if it was cause i saw him wearing one

who was it that said "if you remember the eighties"
you probably weren't there

I liked the Late Night band when it was just a four piece. I think the Letterman take is really funky; everyone has a different definition of swing, but this swings to me.

They probably didn't rehearse this much, but why should they? First take magic there.

Muddys voice carries that tune- It's really not a swing tune anyway-Butter does an ok job,but I would not consider Pauls band to be "swinging"-I have played with the bass player from Pauls latest band-now she SWINGS!!!

on the letterman track paul sings
they take your love..... the one is right there
they take your ...one

on the woodstock record
muddy sings.. they take your love and your money
they take your love and your one!
entirely different groove. count it out 1234..2234..3234.4234
5234..6234..7234..8234
the letterman track sounds "black"
the woodstock track sounds "white"

About the lack of rehearsal: Check out around 0:16 where Schaefer signals the V chord to bass player.
