One of my favourite electric blues guitar solos of all time. He ruins it for us blues guitar players by playing a flawless emotional solo. He adds those certain Bloomfield chromatic notes that were his signature. One of the greatest and like Peter Green not as recognized as he should be. When Bloomfield was “on” he was something not of this world. There is an abandon or freedom to his playing that for me is hard to find these days. Wish he was still with us. There’s a new book out about him for all you fans that may not have known.

This is the equal of anything Bloomfield ever did and for sheer emotional power, it just can't be bested. I love the way Bloomfield bookends this song - he closes the tune with the same 3 notes he opens with (though in a different register).
Looking at the comments here, i can see that I'm not alone in my ardor for this song and for Mike Bloomfield, perennially among the most underrated guitarists of the last fifty years. You can say he never fulfilled his promise, but this song alone shows otherwise. Gone far too soon, however.
I have been listening to this song for over 50 years now and it still gives me goosebumps. Bloomfield just does everything right in this piece of music.

What would a person like me say? Thank you Michael, thank you Paul, thank you Sammy, thank you Jerome, and thank you Mark. And thank you Mr. Poobah, wherever you may be.

Mike Bloomfield at his best right here. I had this LP when it came out back in the 1960s but I never really heard this song. I mean I played it and listened to it, but I never really heard it. Mike's work on this guitar is so deep and emotional, it went right over my head. His hands are barely playing, lightly touching the strings. It is all driven by his heart. Blows me away that someone can express so much emotion through a simple instrument .

One of the best albums ever made. Maestros all.

A timeless example of guitar - voice trade off in a classic blues piece. One of the finest albums ever made.

Haunting. Bloomfield was one of the greats, that's for sure!

I had a mind to give up living many times in my life. Then I started to realize that my existence is not worth all the meaning I was giving it. Now I live a simple life, and am a bit happier. I still hate people, however.

This is my pick for the most innovative, creative and overwhelmingly emotive blues solo ever put on record. To those who cite Peter Green's performance, all I can say is I love the Brits too, and PG really tears it up, but this shows a whole other dimension to the construction of a blues solo, using minor modalities to build tension and resolve it in perfect symmetry. Bloomer learned from everybody (especially Otis Rush and B.B.), but he brought his own genius. Sadly, his addictions kept him from growing musically from this point, and it was generally downhill from here. B.B's version is fantastic both for his playing and singing...really one of his best, imo.

This is the song that inspired me to play guitar. It is still my favorite song
and guitar solo of all time. Not only because of Michael's distinctive phrasing
but because the band works together. Music is about feeling, not speed or
technical ability. Bloomfield was the complete player.

If I could name the guitarist that Mike Bloomfield owes the biggest debt to, I'd have to call him Otis Rush.

This was my first blues albums, 8-track back in 1966, been doing blues since, oh by the way, I still have that 8-track and it still works, yes I have an 8-track player.

Man! this one really digs into you. Heard this first in Tucson AZ after returning from the Nam. Found out my girl was running around on me, meanwhile telling me she loved me. I believed it. That's what I like about the Blues. It tries to tell a listener what is going down inside you. But only some fast living dangerous living cured my blues.

Listen at 3:40 to the tell-tale click as Bloomfield switches to the bridge pickup. I simply love it.

I bought this album 50+ years ago as a teen, used to get high, eat acid, and listen to the title track all the time.
Good times.

Metrolyrics has Nat Adderly as songwriter
It read, "There is no use looking or ever hoping
Or ever hoping to get me back"
"Oh, no use looking, baby
Or ever hoping to get me back
Because it's all over now
And, baby, you can bet on that"
Oh, yeah

Even tho I have been listening to this song since it was released, its still the must gut wrenching song ever, and baby, you can bet on that
Dr. Richard Head
One of the best examples of Bloomfield doing his thing like no other. After all these decades he still sounds unique. His phrasing is haunting. He manages to play outside the usual blue notes and still sound blue. Live at Filmore West isn't too bad either. 8-)
