"Time of the Season"

---&---

Either last night or the night before, I got thinking about the version of "Time of the Season" that the Zombies did at SXSW a few years ago - the one that KEXP uploaded.  I can't be sure because there isn't a clear shot of Rod Argent's hands at the right time, but I think the extra piano chords that he plays also do the diatonic descending bass via a 7th chord thing that's also present in "She's Coming Home," "I Want Her She Wants Me," and "Christmas for the Free."

It at least sounds sort of similar.
