[BizzarousMonkey]

[JordanDougan]

@BizzarousMonkey No... he dead

[jesuschrist001]

anyone knows the tuning?

[pinky0926]

I've listened to this a million times. He had a beautiful voice in his later years.

[Patricka0a01]

This and "Face Yourself" really exploit his vocal ability in his final shows.

[landfill420]

one of the best songs ever.

[artistdeluxe09]

Wow! I have always wanted to see this song performed.  Thank you type3secretion. Michael, your music will always play in my heart.

[zacharron]

I think this live take is actually better than the studio verison. More dynamic and his voice here really is in top form.

[Marilynastro1]

@zacharron  I agree

[irpacynot]

So gorgeous.

[guitar2adam]

so beautiful. what an inspiration. what's this helmet thing I see him wearing in a lot of later videos?

[type3secretion]

I think he kept looking for a solution he liked for a portable mic. He wore a hat with one for a while, then at some point made this copper helmet with holes that his dreadlocks went through (he shaved his head sometime after that!).

Very close to the end here. God, so many of the greats die off, but hopefully he got to see how loved he was by musicians and the people that knew of him before he passed. Rest in peace, we'll play a song for you tonight, Michael.
