I almost never listen to it nowadays but a legendary song nonetheless, and every now and then I hear it and remember how incredible it is. Oddly just don't feel the need to go to it as much as I do other hits like Jumpin Jack Flash, Brown Sugar, Honky Tonk Women, etc.

I’m exactly the same: I rarely listen to it; in fact, I’ll skip it. However, when it does come on… WOW. That riff; the groove; the lyrics. The recording’s impact and importance reaches far beyond the music, itself. It’s an expression of 1965. The song is, literally, the 1960’s.

Thanks for making me feel really really old!
However, that's the coolest imaginable birth date. Congratulations.

Funny thing is that after performing it following more or less the original arrangement from 1965 to 1967 and almost always as the last song in the set list, first, in 1969, they felt the need to deeply rearrange the song, then in 1971 they redid it completely omitting the riff, then they almost abandoned it until the big comeback in 81, when it returned in its full rock and roll format!

In 1969 they took the Otis Redding version and rocked it up a little.
The Knebworth version remains my favorite.
