Can someone post what they think is going on harmonically in the bridge to this song?

And are we talking Bobby, Jerry or Phil here?
China Cat Sunflower: Chord ChartI believe this structure was set in stone from the 60s to the 90s but I haven't sat down and counted how long they hold the E on different versions. I tend to hit a bomb on that first E and hold it, sometimes until the D after it, then start jamming the progression above. It's another way to create tension and release. A good example of my approach can be heard here: http://www.archive.org/details/Fennario ... ir.Anzelmo

I firmly believe that it's a D - it sounds right to my ears and makes perfect sense with music theory - it's the V in a classic "II V I" transition back to G.Rusty, I'm totally with you that it's D, but what other chord do differing opinions say it is?

Which show is the E72 CCat from, anyway? All these references to albums and DP's totally befuddles me. Talk dates, people!!
