Pretty sure I like this better than the studio version. Very cool.

Jules couldn't even get the cd title right. Paul should have been pissed. I loved this performance, maybe better than cd version. Glad to have both, hard choice! Great post.

@mrgb46 amen to that!

@leminyelloblak Very true.If the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had any sense,they'd put The Replacements,Husker Du and The Pixies in there.Just to name a few..

@mrgb46 Actually, Ryan Adams is more like a less edgy version of Paul, as Paul came long before Ryan Adams :). If it weren't for Paul Westerberg and The Replacements, the story of indie/alternative rock would likely be quite a bit different. In the early 80s they were playing what basically became known as "grunge". In the latter part of their run, they definitely had a role in the development of "alt-country" (which is more or less what Ryan Adams plays). Paul Westerberg is one of the greats.

Not only a great version, but a rare perfect live version from Paul. He actually looks like he is interested in nailing it. Would love to know the open tuning and chords he is using on this.
