Yeah, we're the ones with all the free time.  ;-)

Still, like I said, even *that* version isn't phenomenal.  For some reason,
the band wasn't able to capture YMB in the studio.  Both studio versions
seem forced & 'unsolidified,' mainly because of Pete & Keith.

Maybe it was because they attempted studio versions before the extensive
touring of '69 & '70.  Perhaps if they had tried one in late 1970 they
might've nailed a better studio version.
