Best live version

[samsticka]

Wow, that man on the right seen from 3:12 to 3:18 looks like JT when he was younger. Incredible.

[crocotone]

Carlos Vega is a old professional, he plays very dynamically... in the middle part he leaves room for the audience. Also i am pretty shure the mix changes from more direct to more ambient and vice versa. Additionally maybe they adjusted the compression a bit wrong.

[samsticka]

@crocotone He WAS. He's dead now. Killed himself in 1998.

[crocotone]

@samsticka oh shit... RIP

[samsticka]

@crocotone And Don Grolnick, who plays piano here, is also dead. He died in 1996.

[zbestwun2001]

@samsticka Grolnick died on June 1, 1996 from non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

[samsticka]

@zbestwun2001 James lost some people very close to him in the 90's. First, his brother Alex in 1993, who died on his birthday of all days (March 12), Don Grolnick, who was his best friend and his music arranger for many years and of course Carlos Vega, the drummer here, which nobody saw coming.

[samsticka]

For years, I've found it odd that the bass and snare drums cut out midway through the song and the band just keeps on playing like nothing's wrong.

[aledeville]

Yeah, that's probably people clapping... I hate it and always will. The tune's great dough :-)

[timbojones23]

What's with the out of time click/hi hat? Weird

[samsticka]

@timbojones23 What are you talking about? Where do you hear that?

[timbojones23]

@timbojones23 It happens all the way through, especially around 5.10

[samsticka]

@timbojones23 It could be just the audience clapping along. I'll tell you though from 4:07 on I can barely hear the snare drum.
