About
Robby Krieger's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on this track, and at over a minute in duration it ranks among his most inspired performances in the post-Morrison era. Entering at approximately 3:05 over the driving B-flat tonality at 153 BPM, Krieger takes flight with inventive, blues-rock improvisation that is both technically accomplished and emotionally charged. His playing builds considerable momentum as the solo progresses, the extended format allowing him to develop ideas with an architectural logic that demonstrates his growth as a soloist in the absence of Morrison's dominant vocal presence.
Robby Krieger was 24 to 25 years old at the time.
