I don't understand the tempo change at all here. Larry's last solo is like a rocket ship chained to the ground. Man, that was just frustrating to listen to, just let it rip, Donald!

@shtewart Definitely agree on the props to Larry Carlton, who I would love to hear shred on this with his band for maybe ten minutes or so. However, while the bridge solo is indeed covered note-for-note here, the coda is entirely original and I agree with those posters who loved this version. Yes the pacing is slower to bring out the mellow and ethereal vibe from a song that's already pretty slow to begin with. That last guitar solo was positively AMAZING & completely original.

@singinglawnchair was he suggesting they replay the song ??or did he wish to hear the song "do it again"??? very confusing!!

[mugwamp4]

@shtewart shit so right ...this drags like they're all on valium or the record player is being fed from the grid in Delhi,,,still great regardless...cant believe people suggesting this is the best version they've heard !!

[shtewart]

This ver drags so much that Fagan keeps rushing the lyric. You can thank Larry Carlton for composing the brilliant guitar solo, which this gentleman plays pretty much note-for-note. (That last bend from Ab to C is a killer to do!)

[toneeleven]

Yes, used to be in the Saturday Nite Live Band

Quite possibly the best version of Third World Man they ever played. The Dan FTW.

Also, lol @ the guy who yelled "Do It Again!"
