  • grt song...but bad voice

  • great drummer :)

  • WoW this asshole destroyed this song. Learn the lyrics talentless fuck.

  • I swear that's george clooney

  • man this guy's got some talent. Harmonica was really good.

  • 6 people have no taste in music

  • He did the harmonica part really well.

  • What band is this by

  • @appleinthesky1 Supertramp

  • Love revisiting this, and wish he would include it on his tours again!  If he was sick that night, its understandable that he might mess up the lyrics but then thats Taylor. He has missed very few times sick in the years since, and that was a long ole tour. Always the performer and always giving his all.

  • Love Taylor's harmonica and vocals on this song.

  • Taylor should come with Roger Hodgson on all of his tours just so when this song comes up again, he can wail that harmonica.

  • Still gives me chills!

  • The man can sell a song for sure - great harp!

  • I love this video. Love the harp playing. Taylor Hicks is a very talented musician and entertainer. Way to go Taylor!!!

  • I love Taylor singing Long Way Home. Fantastic harp and voice. He is wonderful without being auto tuned. Wooooo!!!!

  • Taylor is just the best entertainer ever to me.

  • I love revisiting this video. . .I was there that night. . .he was deathly ill with bronchitis and had been on vocal rest all day. . .he decided to do this song at the last minute because it meant so much to him as a kid. . .it was actually the first song he ever learned harmonica on, so he announced that he felt such a close connection to it that he wanted to do it. The whole place went wild. We knew he was all over the place with the lyrics. . .but the performance and music was outstanding. ;p

  • @ConKing Weird that he loved this song as a kid and yet totally skipped a few lines of the song and replaced them with something from a later verse

  • Great voice, fantastic harp and so much fun to watch. Great fun performance.

  • Go Go Silver Surfer!

  • Yeah, he missed v. 3, sang v. 5 instead and wound up reprising it later; and he completely confused the third bridge, after which he pantomimed insanity, which to me indicates he knew he screwed up! But the idea of mixing harmonica (original recording) and horn (the solo instrument Hodgson toured with in 2006) is interesting for the interplay between them, and Hicks' gritty r&b vocalizing towards the end is a nice American touch. All in all, a pleasant effort.

  • Damn I love this song!! Nice harp!

  • horrible dance moves and gestures but give the guy credit for knowing good music. and next time learn the lyrics!

  • the lyrics are mixed. he sounds like he forgot some of the words.

  • This is a Great version of this song ... the only thing better than the video is seeing him perform this in person.

    Thanks for sharing !

  • love the original. i think it one of the best rock song ever but i hate this verison.

  • great fabulous love it more than

    Supertramp - voice is spectacular

  • Awesome song yes but the singing performance sucks!!!! Very nice work on the harmonica though. My hats off on that part. One must be very carfull covering Iconic songs of Iconic singers. Bad choice Taylor....

  • Awesome song and performance. Never liked american idol but stumbled on this song...excellent...still hate american idol. Used to think this guy was a doofus, but I guess that's why i hate ai..so much marketing and b.s.
