No one can keep time, and everyone forgets the words and laughs really hard - including Al!
This recording is even more interesting in light of this quote from Rolling Stone:
"I've never done drugs recreationally. I've been around people that smoked dope, pot, Mary Jane, reefer. I enjoyed being around those people in college because it was very easy to make them laugh. But it was never my thing and my parents drilled into me not to ever take drugs, so out of respect for them I never did."

Huh, I've never heard THAT version of ISB before, only the radio broadcast from the County Fair. Where can one here this version? It sounds hilarious.

Kinda brings that quote to life, eh? Pretty crazy. I think if I were the only sober person in a room full of messed up people, I would laugh pretty hard at their antics, while likewise making them laugh.

I have that version of I'm Stupid Blues. it's pretty much 8 minutes of Al and college friends messing about as previously stated. One of the friends mentioned drugs but it wasn't Al.
