Prior to CT, when it was played by Dave solo in Mexico and w/ Tim at Farm Aid, I was really excited to hear it would sound with the full band. I ended up being pretty underwhelmed by the instrumentals on the studio cut. The more I revisit it, the more bland it is to me. The most recent thing I noticed is Fonzie's bass line. It is really quite boring, which is weird because he has a lot of great moments at other points in the record.
I don't hate the song, though. As you stated, the Dave solo version is particularly good. I'm just not really looking forward to it in a full-band set as far as CT songs are concerned.
