As great as this dude is he'd be a skid row bum today if he was starting out and he'd stay a bum.
Think of all the sales and Royalties this guy generated. Today it wouldn't happen. Even if retarded computer people dug him, they'd just leech his property off the Net. It's a different animal now, and not a better one.
I was lucky enough to watch Randy perform in a very small Denver club, 1972 ,,, such cerebral, soulful, heartfelt music ... a symphonic master ... with wicked wit
It's an amazing song, but that trumpet solo in the middle is just perfect in every single way.

I thought it was slightly rushed, as compared to the studio version.

@ugmold Yeah actually I agree. I guess I can correct that - the studio version is perfect in every way!

I break down in tears every time I hear the Studio version, it reminds me of myself, I have to be careful when I listen to it...lol.
Live is Live, I love that version too.
Randy is a rare bird. I love him.

This song always brings a tear to my eye, I guess because I think he's singing about me.
