<P> David Cassidy recorded an extended live version for his 1974 album Cassidy Live ! ( Bell Records , UK # 9 ; recorded live in Great Britain in May 1974 ) . The track features extensive and complex lead - guitar solos by Cassidy himself . The album received rave reviews . Critic Dave Thompson wrote for Allmusic , `` Recorded live on his 1974 world tour , at the height ( and , though nobody knew it , in the final days ) of Cassidy - mania , Cassidy Live is a peculiar document , on the one hand standing as an indication of just how fierce the hysteria around the lad was , but , on the other , living proof of what a sensational showman he was ; as evidenced by tracks like ' For What It 's Worth ' . '' He concluded , `` Rock history has sidelined Cassidy with a finality that seems almost personal , shovelling him up a teen idol side street from which the only escape was retirement and resignation . Cassidy Live , however , was recorded while he still thought he had a chance of advancing -- and few period live albums come even close to capturing its excitement . '' </P>
