Every version of this song I've heard is wonderful in its own way, and I think this version takes all of my favorite aspects of the other versions and puts them into one. This is absolutely amazing, it just leaves me speechless from its beauty...
Adam Duritz changed the world with this one. I've heard, and loved, this song since it came out; literally thousands of times including numerous live versions. And yet, he makes it new again in this version. He touches every emotion and every part of the human experience and the relationships between the sexes here, and he does it all in a pink bunny suit. God Bless you, Adam.
The funny thing is... on the wrap up show Sal, Ba-Ba-Booey and the rest of those goobers were TEARING this performance apart! This was amazing. They don't know anything. (But Sal is still cool!)
I heard this live the morning they did it and it completely blew me away. I wasn't much of a CC fan but this performance - he was so raw and cut wide open you couldn't help but just be caught in that moment with him. Amazing.
@Arys16 ....agreed. I think this might be the best performance ever on the Stern show. He's singing like it's the first and last time he will ever do this song. simply amazing.
@matlm about april '09 on sirius. I remember it like it was yesterday. Did 2 other amazing songs. Rain King mixed with Thunder Road (Springsting) and a Greatfull Dead song
Why is it everytime I hear this version I want to cry like a baby lol. I remember listening to it live and I literally was late to work so I could stay in my car to listen.
I have been listening to these guys for like 15 years. I remember driving to california with i was 10 years old and listening to their casset tape all the way there and back on my Walkman! ha
i think a true musician is someone that can take what they do in the studio and make it sound better live. they achieve what so few can nowadays in this recording
Very few musical perfomers in my lifetime have consistently poured so much true emotion into thier live performances ... thank you for posting ... i remember the stop light I was parked at the first time I heard this song and I relive that moment everytime I hear it ...
There exist only a few performers able to 'strip down' their performce to the raw basics, while at the same time succeeding in adding a depth of emotion and sincere feeling. The only term for it that I can find is the true meaning of the term 'performer'. Such musical storytelling remains too scarce in music, especially in an age where we are surrounded by synthetically produced, factory-line monotony that characterises the modern music industry.
you just said it man... lately ive noticed that what youre talking about at the end of your comment is very true... check out my songs man... i think you would enjoy some of them.
He did this at Pinkpop 08 also. I like that one a bit more, its not acoustic, but this one still rocks. It sounds like he added in bits and pieces of other songs to go with it. Absolutely great.
the first time i heard this it gave me chills through my whole body and this is about the 10th time ive heard this version but it still feels like the first he an amazing singer
google 'youtube to mp3'- there are a number of sites that convert it to mp3 for you. There's a bit of a quality reduction, but its not too noticeable.
@crowslanding9 send me a private message or something, I found the whole HS show online somewhere, took a while to dl but it's pretty great, could sendspace it to you or something
Love this- replay today and want to cry just like 1st time hearing!!

Duritz delivers more like a really good actor than a vocalist, when he's on, and he's on in this clip...

You are absolutely right. 'Artist' probably would have been the better term to use. Spot on :-).
