Think it disappeared from the set lists in the mid-80's as newer material overtook it.
The song appears to be very straight-forward to me; an ode to his days from the 1960's as a solo act and he would go from gig to gig and give it his all.....only to repeat the show the next night in another town.

I love that solo.
I think you are correct that it is an ode, written about a fictional character who has been doing that type of gig for decades. I'd do it again refers to living his life the same way all over.
FTR - I do not consider this to be a "lesser song".
