I'm curious to know what John was doing with that white Strat'. It was the number he used it for on stage at this point, I believe. The guitar is really prominent on the studio version (that's what gives the track it's edge, IMO). To me, it sounds like he's running it through and octave pedal (probably a BOSS?) to substitute the bass. He would of course, switch to playing bass guitar on this number for the late '79 shows.
So great!
Need the whole concert!
