Yeah, absolutely, but no one's sure who played the solo. Jon Lord (Deep Purple) played the piano on the track and told Blackmore and others that Jimmy Page had played. Page doesn't remember, although says he didn't. Ray Davies said it wasn't true and that Dave had played it.Dave Davies hasn't talked about it.. Sound engineers don't know either.
All Day And All Of The Night is cool, too, but the solo is almost identic to the solo of You Really Got Me.
