You needn't feel that way, you know. I tried it without a capo just to see what would happen. Using the open A pair of strings, you can get some kind of raga rock thing going. Anyway, it's just my way of a different take on a song.

As a big fan of their earlier period, these 3 shows always make me grab my guitar and play along.

I love how they sound like they were really into it compared to later shows where they began to sound bored. When I see these, I can get a sense of what being at the Cavern was all about.
