Van Murrison was always great with the stops and grabs that made many of his songs dramatic and exciting. Great drummer, notice how he never takes his eyes off Van.
First time i ever heard Mick Ronson suck. He just wasn't ON it. Kinda tired , especially compared to eg., Vince Taylor's version. Mr. Morrisson is one of my big and early influences vocally though I sound nothing like him. I've always admired Mr. Ronson's body of work too but this was mediocre....
The Sax (and effect) is fresh and gives the song a very good interpretation.
