[3tp]

so dope.

[PILESDRUBAO]

Blinds guiding other blinds!

[MacVaultDweller]

Praise ABBA YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA AND THE RUACH HA KODESH!

Look up and be watchful brothers and sisters!

[vanwolfen]

I can hear Robert Randolph on Slide....

[ChaosWinter]

It is the cover of the RHCP cover xD?

[FretLamo]

OMGOSHHHH! Reminds me of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. (Y)

[irlpiotrkowska]

Somebody should tell them when the elevator door has opened.

[salonsixtytwo]

Wicked love it..that slide guitar is amazing....

[shadowofme22]

love this tune. would like to listen to this while I repeatedly kick clivetemple in the face.

[MusicWriter1965]

I've watched this about 100 times. I actually think this is much cooler than Stevie's original. It rocks more, and I love the gnarly lap-steel from Randolph, which makes it grittier and more visceral

[shockthesky]

one of the coolest songs ever.. 

[MrSlingerland]

Great Stuff, !!!

Thanks for posting

Musician from Canada,

Music Bud, ... MICHAEL

[windjammerish]

Is Clarence Fountain still with this group?

[samopdrift]

@windjammerish No, he passed away. But when the recording for this video was done, he was still praising his Lord. Well i guess he still is, but not in this world anymore... he found higher ground!

[lowchops301]

That's the funniest comment I've ever seen on youtube...."Who's Driving?" What a classic statement.

[kbhdesign]

[shockthesky]

Today America reached Higher Ground. Can we reach even Higher Ground...YES WE CAN!!!!

[inkblotangel]

@birdstuckinchimney yikes why use that nazi....i mean obama quote?? not fit for such a great vid.

[grenadeserenade]

@birdstuckinchimney Higher ground is limiting him to one term.

[birdstuckinchimney]

@grenadeserenade I agreewith you. It seems that American citizans can't actually cope with becoming what they preach

[derrickheard]

very good

[disarm3317]
