A singer in tune, for a start. Ok, I know it's not easy performing live, and I'm sure it was great for those who were there, but this live song doesn't transfer well to disc, IMO. HMMM. I always thought that the difference between a professional musician and me was that they could sing/play on tune even when in front of an audience. This version does nothing for me. Ick. |

baneale Aug 29, 2011 - 09:03 | Ouch! This is not good. It has to be Julie Driscoll and The Brian Auger Trinity or nothing. 'nuff said. |
funkyalfonso Jun 27, 2011 - 13:55 | It's gotta have Julie Dris coll dancing to this.She was so... FREAKY. |

calypsus_1 Aug 11, 2010 - 21:16 | KT Tunstall & Billy Bragg - This Wheel's On Fire, Live Bob Dylan Tribute. "This is a great song. Strangely, very few covers seem to do it justice. I thought this version was one of the best. " lalaland0417 "They are terrific together. I hope they record together too."

HazzeSwede Dec 11, 2009 - 11:01 | Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger's Trinity version comes to my mind ! Think that I spunn that one a few times. |
CamLwalk Dec 11, 2009 - 10:47 | I was listening to a Danko club show last night. I miss him something fierce. He used to play a lot of club shows around here when I first moved to Albany and I got to meet him a few times. Very nice, sunny guy, you know. Just loved to play live...and I loved hearing him play live. I just miss him...a lot. |
