8:25 is awesome! (It all is actually.) I remember him doing this when opening for Kenny around 2004 at RFK Stadium, he had us all up and singing it too.
He has so much fun when he performs, and you can see because the way he wants everyone in the crowd to have a good time too. He includes the whole audience in his performance, and I love that about him.
I dont think its a big enough deal for ya'll to be arguing over. If it was a mess up, its a mess up, it happens to everyone. If it wasnt, oh well . Not a big deal.
@cannonboll a modulation is another word for key change.. that wasn't a key change. I would agree with you if there were some continuity.. like he did it somewhere else in the song.. also considering the fact that that isn't in the original Tom Petty song.. accentuating an unusual note in the chord for a single quarter note of the song hardly constitutes as "artistic interpretation".
@bag2289: <modulation can also mean doing something outside the normal notes, wich he is doing here.
Sometimes to make it flow musically and to make things interesting o listen too good musicians actually does these things to make their own mark on a song.
You may think that this sounds good or bad but I tell you, it is done on perpose since I have heard several versions of this song with the same band and he does it every time.
anytime i hear free fallin' on the radio i think of keith & this version <3 he is BEYOND amazing. he IS the best performer i've ever seen and i've seen quite a few people, how he includes the audience and everything is aussome.
This is probably the best version I have ever heard of this song, the accent is Aussie, since he is one naturally.
Musicaly it´s great.
Why he´s not taking the high note in this song is because of 2 things, first he wants to let his fellow guitarist get a little shine and also he has a very long tour and he wants to save his voice since he sings so many songs totally.
But I guess you have to have been on tour to understand that!
Don't sing the song if you can't hit the high notes and have to take the low part of the harmony in the chorus. "Is it a John Mayer cover"? ha! That is hilarious! That was a joke right? John Mayer didn't sing the chorus right either. Atleast Keith had someone to sing the high part for him.
The whole point of doing a cover is so you can sing it and play it in your own way, if you cover a song and play it as the original without adding your own tweaks then its pointless
@nvcfc18 what's funny about this one is that he hardly did anything different to it.. he almost played exactly as the record.. except Keith Urban is way fuckin cooler than Tom Petty so that made it cool enough as it is! lol
i love how much he includes the crowd into the concerts, i think thats what makes him the best performer i've ever seen. He was amazing at the concert I went to.
I think both Jonh and Keith version is good. I guess the feeling of these songs are different. John's version is more relaxy and Keith is much different. Both great!
This is the best damn version I have ever heard, and to the seven up high in the seats, you are forever will go down in history as part of the best of Keith Urban. Thank You.
@mcchick49 entitled to your opinion, absolutely.. but the reason john's cover is so amazing is because many try to cover this song, and basically do a nice, good sounding cover, but not too much different from the original. kind of like everyone covering jeff buckley's cover of hallelujah. then ever once in awhile, a new one pops up, and its new take just pops. John's is a fresh pop, while this is a good tribute to Petty.

It´s not a fuck up, it´s just a modulation since this song has the same chords over and over again to make it sound a bit different.
