The studio version is a "meh" for me.  This one's quite a bit worse.

Love the music's energy. But I can barely understand a freaking word he is singing. Annoying.

Definately not the best MMJ song...  but it's above "meh"...

Prefer the studio version but I won't turn the volume down on this live version.

Love this set. Two great live versions in a row. Where's my guitar ...

I hate giving a live version the same high rating as I do the original.  Just doesn't seem fair.

I gave this a 5 last time around. Sounds about right. It's such a generic sounding song that it's neither good nor bad.

Bowie to Bowie via Nirvana to MMJ. Sublime, not the band but the actual word for this set.

I also agree. Since I'm not nearly as articulate as you, I'll just say this sounds mushy.

I agree with losing a lot of the texture. But the fact that they're playing this about 30 beats a minute faster than the studio version turns it into a rocker, and I can take this on its own merits.  I still prefer the studio cut, but this flat out got me moving in my seat.

It couldn't be!  He sounds quite terrible (to my ears) in this recording.  I've heard dogs howl with better pitch.  Was he drunk? :(

The rest of the band seemed to be in top form though.

 

Ha! Yes!

I had a similar experience with Cowboy Junkies when they backed up Sting.

Yes but they are nothing without their reverb.  It has to be a cavernous hall.

Not a noteworthy set this evening. Just doesn't draw me in. Turning blue here.
