  • WOW OUTSTANDING!!!

    been watching this in the morning every day this week and when i get home.

    this reverberates in my soul, thanks john and thanks for posting, this has always been my ultimate song by JM

    and this version just blows everything out of the water.

    shame it ends so abruptly, why??

    just trying to make it 'one world'

    r.i.p.

  • Yeah, once I heard this I couldn't get it out of my head, you just have to play it over & over.

    Sorry about the sudden end but I clipped it to the very last frame, that's as it ended on the original program.

  • A stunning live performance which is far better than the album version imho.  Amazing how such a rich haunting sound was made by just a few master musicians over thirty yeas ago - pure genius.

  • thankyou

  • Shivers down my spine!! Traveling in China when I heard John had passed, quite surreal travelling on trains and buses new sceneries and listening to tsomething that was part of me.

  • memories of warwick lou my thoughts comin at you with love.bx

  • I don't claim to know everything about music yet I'm shocked that this guy doesn't get talked about very often 40 odd years on as one of the greatest musicians ever.

  • I think this is miles ahead better than the studio version.

  • I get chills every time I hear the line:

    "but most of us live just like me, and we don't know what it means..."

  • I love the album vs But This is Superb,,, Miss you John <3

  • Simply inspirational and by far the best version of One World.

    Spot be the cut up table tennis balls stuck on his right hand nails.!

    RIP

  • The song I think is Big Muff of album One World.

  • Ah, that'll be "Big Muff". He says, "Lord knows, you're trying to kill me."
