One of the rare times that I like the live version better than the studio. The build up of the song is amazing and that guitar solo at the end was fantastic.

He came in with a suit and tie, then proceeded to tear the fucking roof off the building. Business as usual.. All hail Yim Yames

[heine]

Face = melted. That drummer is fucking sick.

[TubobRainbowUnicorn]

this is as close to perfection as man can fly. He tapped into the electricity of the sky.

[liamrussell]

It’s difficult to understand how incredible and talented this man really is. Just an absolute juggernaut of love talent and influence. I swear he’s from another galaxy here to save us from something

[danielvandersall]

"True Detective" for me--incredible song.

[ThirdEyeBlindApologist]

The drummer is a monster behind the kit. Flawless, machine-like. Epic stuff to witness. What a tune from Jim.

[ryanfisher]

Thank you so much Ray Donovan for introducing me to this incredible song an instant fave!!!

Just finished watching The Accountant, and I HAD to look for this song. Masterpiece.

[tannerwahler]

Jim James can, and if given the opportunity will most certainly burrow deep inside your soul

[CatherineCAD]

Des années plus tard je ne m'en remets toujours pas ❤❤❤❤❤

[BrianOrr-sdws]

I love the thunder of the bass when it kicks in.

[pedrohorta]

Aaah, the power of a REAL rock band. Remember the super slow build? = Death for The Spotify Generation. This is a band killing it live... no Auto-Tune... no backing tracks... Pure devastation.

Well, I must say, I was intrigued by this song after only a snippet of it on "The Accountant". But live version here is off the chains good!! Total fire!! And the whole band is on another level on this cut, after seeing the whole video. Drummer...completely sick with it (moved me like the drummer on Zeppelin's "When The Levee Breaks"). Piano man...total Monte Moir type cool. Bass player...Larry Graham funky. The other guitar/vibe player...he's next level, he's doin some wicked shit over there, especially with that radioactive guitar! And Mr. James...man, that guitar solo was Prince/Clapton type sick. 1st time seein this dude, and I can't get enough of this video...and I think this is the best version of all the live ones I've seen (and I've seen a few of them now). Am I over-hyping this? Not the way my 60-year old ass was bouncing these old bones around my living room watching this! That's a talented dude/band. Wow!

[MindfulMike]

much talent. Big props to the drummer for sure

[alvestesrj]

This is the first time I've seen the song performed live. I first heard the song on Night Country on HBO and instantly fell in love with the song. It's such a simple piano medley and I love the way the intensity increases. Great song

[sudipmaitra]

Outstanding performance. Love your music Jim. Looking forward to seeing you in India.

[caseydog]

Seen MMJ and JJ close to 30 times dating back to 2005. I don’t know how this video got past me. It’s a Xmas miracle that I found it today. Unreal. Make me miss live music so much.

[milosmilovanovic]

My fav song of 2016. Still goes on repeat.
