Venture blows. Clap is actually a challenge to play.

I think "Clap" is great. "A Venture" has always felt unnecessary to me, though it's fine.

Probably have to go with A Venture. I don't hate it, just my least favorite track on one of my favorite albums.

Never been all that sold on I’ve Seen All Good People.
The Clap, on the other hand, is very catchy. |

I like The Clap, but the other ones are so much better I guess. It's a great album and it's hard to say that the clap is the weakest one, but it is.

This mistake has been made in far worse places than this forum.

The Clap is an STD. Clap is a Steve Howe solo

Clap or the Clap/Strawbs or the Strawbs, what's the difference?
Hamill or Gilmoure is much more annoying afaic. |

I find it difficult to believe that The Clap could be in the running for any 'weakest' song list. It is one of Howe's best-ever guitar songs, an incredible display of guitar virtuosity, and I would have to say one of the best short songs on any album, period. So influential for many guitarists, and so original a style - it is the tune that really perked up listeners to Howe's unique talent. It provides a perfect break in between Yours is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper.

A Venture would be the one I skip over the most.

There's nothing "wrong" with it at all, it's just overshadowed by a whole load of brilliant songs.

Clap and A Venture are the fillers here, still listenable songs though.

Pretty much my thoughts too-- let's face it, Clap is a cut every young guitarist heard, had to sit down weak-kneed in fear and wonder, gather their thoughts and ponder the fact they'd probably never get close to that level of mastery and musicality. To micky's point, 'Clap's out-of-context presentation was part of the new rock adventure in 1971. A slap in the face, and echoed for years later by other players.

Agreed. While I think that A Venture may fit better into the album's overall flow, there's no denying that Clap is a fantastic piece of guitar work that holds up on its own, so Venture got my vote.
