Gor...I really love the Hollies' lush treatment. Gorgeous.<br /><br />First time I heard it was in The Wherehouse record store in Pomona. I was there to get Faces tix and buy Zepp's just released LP, "Physical Graffiti." Plus Old & In The Way. I had a couple of extra Zepp tickets for Long Beach. They were great seats. The store manager, who sold bootlegs out of the back room, wanted them. I ended up swapping the tix for several boots, including Bedspring Symphony, His Master's Voice, Ohm Sweet Ohm, Kaught Konspicuously In Koncert, Guitar Bandit and Un Reve Sans Consequence Speciale. <br /><br />I asked the clerk to please play the Hollies tune again. He obliged while I grabbed a Silk Torpedo and took Tiger Mountain by Strategy:-)<br /><br /><br />"...
