You know, that’s the only hard rock song I can think of done to a waltz beat.

I’m amazed at how artists can mix genres. One of my favorites mixes rock (of sorts, maybe techno) and classic.
Storm
or Toccata & Fugue (about half way through)
Tuesday’s Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd is also in 3/4 time.
Yeah but that’s a ballad.
Interestingly enough the Bass Intro is in 11/8. At Filmore East, Duane Allman’s last album. :(
That’s a good point, but I think if you listen what the song actually does is shift between 11/8 and 3/4 and back. But they spend most of their time in 3/4, at least on this studio version. I haven’t whipped out the live version lately.
BTW, Duane’s last album was technically Eat A Peach, which featured (awesome) leftover stuff they hadn’t had room for on the Fillmore East album, plus some beautiful studio work like "Blue Sky" and "Little Martha," the only song he ever wrote that made it onto an ABB album (and which he said that the late Jimi Hendrix taught to him in a dream, interestingly enough).
Ah yes. It is in mostly 3/4 I hadn’t paid attention to the fact it slips back into 11/8 after the bass intro. Another excuse to listen to the song again!
As much as I typically doubt the metaphysical, it would not surprise me if two of the greatest guitarists that graced rock music were somehow able to communicate psychically. Playing in a band is the closest to that type of communication I have experienced. Perhaps there’s something to that. :)
