@alaeque My guitar teacher told me several years ago that playing live is a true measure of musical talent. Anyone of reasonable ability can produce an "acceptable" performance with studio equipment, overdubbing, and re-takes. The artists with true talent can blow you away live also. I have seen several acts live that left me disappointed, but so many more that were amazingly "record sounding" live.
@lfcdan14 The harmony is in three octaves. She has the highest register. It's not blended as well here as on the professionally mixed version. Check out the CD version. This song would not be as interesting with only low register voices (the lead and the bass singer)---too much repetition to be interesting--too much of the same without variety.
I really like like this song. Can't believe that Rusted Root is coming to Rochester, New York for a concert! I think that this song would sound awesome!
To Whomever post this vid: you would get a lot more hits and do a great service if you added "Preach Freedom" to your tag. That is the legal name of the dude on the djembe drum.
He is my former roomate and best friend. Him and I have rocked PLENTY of stages put out and album and smoked some of this worlds finest. He was the frontman for One World Tribe and many others. I had heard he was in this band now. Buffalo misses you brother Preach. Do your thing on that stage!!!!!!!!!
Great tune!

Sounds better live than on the record. How many bands can we say that about?

Such a fan of this song. But In my opinion I don't think the girls voice fits in. I dunno maybe it's just me but I don't think it works.
