Private investigations is literally one of my most favourite songs, definitely in my top 20. So to assume I'm too young to remember it (which I thank you for btw as I'm close to 50), is way off the mark. Oh and let's face it, the guitar comes in way too late to put it as a guitar intro, for me. Great great tune none the less.
There are personal reasons why I love R&J so much. It just hits me every time I hear the intro, no matter what mood I'm in, I love it.

""in memory of Elizabeth reed" Allman Brothers "
I'm going to go with "One Way Out", recorded at The Fillmore East, and features on their album "Eat a Peach". Admittedly, it's a Sonny Boy Williamson / Ellmore James song, but they certainly make it rock. Dickey Betts sets up the groove and Duane Allman's slide playing is the icing AND the cherry on top of the cake. |

Saw an article on the Moody Blues recently. If you listen to the keyboard breaks in the verses in
Nights in White Satin, the bit that goes "de de de di de de daa", transfer it to the guitar and speed it up a bit, it's the intro to Layla!
