Got some Cactus after I read about the VH influence a while back. Some great stuff, but for sure all the tunes don't sound like that.
At it awhile, still learnin'

They did their own version of it in the club days, minus the intro, guess Ed kept that for his solo

Yes many years ago when I picked Cactus greatest hits. The long out of business VH fanzine The Inside talked about the Cactus influence on VH in an issue from 98 or 99Ruben wrote:Anyone heard the intro to 'Let me Swim'?

That's Carmine Appice on drums.
