All hail to Mike Campbell! In my mind, he is simply the most under-praised guitar player in rock and roll. This song is so great because it showcases his ability to carry this band on this shoulders. That's not taking ANYTHING away from Tom and the rest of the band because they are amazing. But Mike just has this ability to take control of the music without taking control of the spotlight. Truly inspiring!!!
@Zadfrac Absolutely! Even some of the more subtle things he adds to the standard songs live. I think you posted "I Won't Back Down", and I commented that the harmonics he adds as fills, to me, take the song to a new level! I wonder if the intent was to "feature" Mike on the new album, since so much of it is guitar-driven blues. If so, it's about time! The guy is just awesome! Thanks again for posting this!

Yeah, he really blew me away, especially doing the bluesy material from the new album.
