"Upsetter played before it is very groovy indeed.īest ' HARD ROCK song ever! Needs "Upsetter" to be played before it (like on the LP) so the anticipation builds just right when you hear the first sustained note in the energy barrage! Mark's voice and the harmonies are unsurpassed. Don screaming vin the background during Mel's solo makes me go crazy with him.I don't care what anyone says or how they feel about it. Mark, Don and Mel play withsuch a grooving heavy passion. I heard them play it live at Olympia Stadium in Detroit shortly before E Pluribus Funk was released. I wish they had included it in their set longer. It also is very funky, for a hard rock song. It just completely rocks from beginning to end. I believe this song is their hardest, and most technically difficult of anything they ever did.
