John Butler brought his chill vibes and hand claps to a live cover of Pharrell's 'Happy' for Like A Version!

[twinratter]

In awe with that guitar tone, absolute beauty.

[LynetteHerbrink]

This is the first time any version of this song has made me happy! :)

[connorrossi]

jesus this guy is good live. its unreal how clean his sound is.

[Metalwolf]

This is amazing- I can't believe that he's playing and singing it at the same time. That's some crazy skill!

[ricksmith]

This man changed my life. His passion for music and his own style are parallel to none. How can anyone give this a "thumbs down" is beyond me.

[dusttheninthpoet]

I never thought 'Happy' could be a badass bluesy song but John Butler Trio has made it so

[garytate]

This is great because it's The John Butler TRIO. Not just a solo. Easy to forget, but they are a brilliant TRIO.

[ChristoNorman]

I love this song and I can't believe how good this cover sounds.  Just awesome

[robmccarthy]

I like to him to do a bunch of covers with his take them, I just cant get enough of him. Its very rare that I get the chills from listening to a band.

[chris-adams-tas]

This rumbles along.
Toe tappin' goodness.
Thanks Pharrell/ John Butler Trio.
Thanks JJJ.

Love you 🤟 do it for all of us who as little girls always wanted to be as confident and talented as you. i was a big fan of kids in cooperated and star search ❤ its awesome you just showed the world it doesnt matter where you start out!! You rock!

[insaneedoko]

This cover is so great that it feels like a different song! Finally a cover that makes an overplayed song even better. Though most great songs are sadly overplayed and become bad due to being played so much

[finnage]

This cover has definitely grown on me, not such a fan when i first heard it but now i can;t stop listening! Love John Butler and all of his work

[lucasbrf]

Let's go boys!
I had a short stay on Australia (NSW and VIC) for about 2 years and in this time I were gracefully blessed to know you guys.
Saying so, I'm a huge fan of you guys.
Keep it up!
Love from Brazil.

To the Williams!
Great song!
To the Trio!
Williams just got OWNED.
Beautiful job.
Beautifully crafted. Beautifully played.
That is what that piece should have been in the first place!
Thank you!
