Notes

The title of this song is derived from a verse in Roll Over Beethoven by Chuck Berry;

I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I think I'm rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down by the rhythm revue
Roll over Beethoven rockin' in two by two.
Johnny Vincent was the owner of the ACE who released the original single.

The version of the song on the Jerry Garcia box set All Good Things is a previously unreleased outtake from the 1975 Reflections recording sessions.
