I only found out he died, i've known his music since basically day one in my life and i am so humbled by the love shared by all of you for him. His impact in my life and for anyone who is lucky enough to find him is undescribable, i cherish few things in exisatance like i cherish Chris and his music. Mad love, hope and Peace to all, etranlly united though pure expression. May life grace you all.
The imagery in this song is staggeringly powerful...
"Prayed to the burning tires..." - you can see a homeless guy keeping his hand warm pointing my out to the fire with extended arms like a devote person praying...
This vid is by far the best one of live CW I've seen too. Like finding lost film clip of Robert Johnson. A true gem. There are othe CW live vid's here, but thanks for capturing CW in this intimate footage. God I can finally learn the fingerings and wild bends he makes becasue of the close ups. Lets not forget those upstroke sweeps with metal finger picks. No on will ever play close to Chris Whitley in originality.
Some of the best quality footage of Chris anywhere on the web....and captured at one of the high-water marks of his career....thanks so much for posting.

Since I first heard this song, I haven't been able to stop listening to it.
At first I didn't know why, I just liked it.
And on my 102938time listening to the song I realized why I loved this song so much.
I love the unique qualities is voice and guitar contribute to this great song.
It's so differen't from what I listen to. It's refreshing(:
