 I've been unreasonably fond of Drifting Heart for many decades. Forgive my effrontery but I can't imagine the lyric there to be anything but "You, vain enough to be gay, who made me love you this way." He's out of his depth in flowery verse, which is why it's always sounded so dear. Chuck before he had a formula.

 Exactly after the guitar break I note that he fluffs what should have been "Early in the morning and I'm giving you my warning" at about 1:35

Obviously an all-time classic and very influential. It's his first out and out Rocker and the interesting thing is that it's 'live'. For "Johnny B. Goode" and most that followed he played the intro and then stayed on the bass strings. After that he overdubbed the top strings. The only other way he could have approached this performance would to have a second guitarist and it would never have sounded as good. So this is not a criticism and the record is a priceless gem.

But for "Beethoven" he really has to 'hang on' and there's an abrupt ending to he inst break as he reverts to the bass strings. So more recent CD reissues seem to bring up the piano for two notes to fill the void. "Drifting Heart" is a better composition than "Together [We'll Always Be]" so it's more listenable but it's still dead flat (and also very square!).
