I'm really hoping you'll dig it...

Finally home to listen... I DO dig it. I do prefer the album version chorus with Lindsey singing, too. But I enjoy how much more prominent her vocals are. Thanks for sharing it!

Here’s another nice version without backing vocals…

Cool. I miss Stevie's backing vocal and the organ flourish (which gets covered up by LB's guitar inb the version here) but otherwise, it's a very good indication of what she dreamed up before Lindsey hogged the mic!

John's bass part on this is, not surprisingly, sublime.
