@Vinnydrum i agree with you wholeheartedly about the legends,nazareth are not the band they used to be but they still tour quite a lot and it is sort of nice to be able to catch a live show by bands from this era,the old nazareth have imho done some of rocks finest albums up there with the rock greats.
Correction: Naz does both the original (and the '97 remake) in E -- something they're smart enough not to replicate at live concerts for obvious reasons: it would've destroyed Dan's voice faster than whiskey and cigarettes. Trust me on that. First time I sang this at Karoake, I belted it out there in "E" easily. Big Ooops! It brought the damned house down and now I can't go back into that fuckin' bar without people expecting me to belt it out in "E" every single time ... hahah, not happening!
Fuk it Nazareth will always have the best version of this song..... I was 13 in 1978 when I first heard it....it brings back good and bad memories, but when I hear Nazareth's version of it...it make it all okey. :-)
Nazareth does a great version of this song as heard here. Check out the original version of this song as first recorded by the legendary Everly Brothers in July of 1960. The song was written for them by their song writing team back then.
Actually they are playing this about a 4th lower in pitch relative to their original recording :) His voice quality is unchanged, gotta love that, just his range ain't what it used to be LOL The original was in G, this is in in D (when compared to a known pitch, recording speeds could have altered it a bit)
@Nelli070 I like this song a lot but really, let's be honest. His voice does not get better and better. This sounds horrific compared to the recorded version. If the recorded version sounded like this we wouldn't know of this song. Everyone has their favorite music or song, but you can still be honest.
I wouldn't say it sounds "horrific". And it's not about honesty, it's about different opinions. Personally, I like his current voice more than the old studio version, except for when he tries to yell/scream because he can't anymore.
@cougher989 It's not opinion when vocally a singer is off-key. The harmonics are off. Notes and harmonics are tangible things that can be measured. It's not an opinion.
Oh really, you measured? And yes it is opinion, I'm talking about how people think his voice sounds, not his pitch/tone. Plus, you ever heard of Bob Dylan? His voice isn't perfectly in tune with the instruments, yet the overall sound produced is great.
@cougher989 I'm a musician, I don't have to measure. When you've played classical music and jazz as an instrumentalist, pitch is something required. Pitch can be measured, but I don't need a tuning fork to let me know when someone's pitch is off. Bob Dylan sounds like Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan didn't slaughter his music during live performances. Style and pitch are two separate entities. If you want to defend how a beautiful studio recording is slaughtered during a live performance, go ahead.
@modernrockbro ...of course, no one can expect that a 60-years old guy, can sing a difficult song, like in the studio. This is a live-concert and also the last song-encore... so think, after 100 minutes (maybe more) to sing like this! RESPECT, WELL DONE... and in a concert, you expect different versions of the songs... or can listen only the cd´s or lp´s...
@dpgth My response was to Nelli070 stating "his voice just gets better and better". So he/she does hold that opinion. If a singer doesn't have a strong voice it's suicide to perform one of your most difficult songs at the end of your set. Being "in concert" & expecting a "different version" does not imply that a performer will perform much worse. Singing off-key is not a version of a song, & it's not an opinion. If you hit C#, when it's supposed to be D# it's a mistake not a different version.
MAN NAZARETH IS MY MUSIC....THIS IS REAL EMOTION.

Great song but IMHO the drummer and guitar player are way unworthy of the other two legends...
