Always have been partial to keyboard intros.
This one has water too, but more like ocean shoreline wave noise (plus spooky, minor chords piano);
I disagree with mr. Young though. Jesus CAN "save" and "right away". The Lord has saved me, quite literally, more than once, at the seeming last possible moment...so... I do believe Him.
Back in the late-'70's had 'ol Neil stop and give me ride once when I was hitch-hiking Westbound I-30 out of downtown Dallas, Texas (back in those days, a pedestrian could walk right along the freeway, and kinda' get away with it). He was driving a hearse. True story, but not very important, in the bigger scheme of things...
Beautiful intro. Very similar to Gimme Shelter but with more flow. Don Henley does the same bang bang on the drums as Watts did to bring in the song. It is melodic genius.
