I’m thinking of my brother Don today. It’s his birthday, he’s 70. He left 3 years ago next week. I love this song, it always brings a tear.

[cecileparr]

Warren Haynes is fantastic as always. What a brilliant performance. Amazing.

[freebird]

I've learned to ignore the "thumbs down folks" because it's obvious they are not listening, and not appreciating the talent of the musicians plying their trade. This is a tribute to a wonderful star and an awesome Blues masterpiece. Well done, Mule!

[randydubesky]

526 people have no appreciation of such a perfect performance!!

[DavidS-pwgd]

Alecia Chakour stole that performance. Wow! What a voice.

[skennedy]

I’ve seen a lot of versions of this song. This just became my ALL time favorite. Beth Hart is hard to beat. BRAVO!!!

[fosterit]

Alecia Chakour... my God!!! Girl, you give me chills each and every time I watch this video. Not only can you sing that ass off, but you show that you truly appreciate great music and musicians in this video!!! You have garnered a new life-long fan!!! So happy to see you join the ranks of those that Warren deem worthy of sharing the stage with him!!!! And girl, it should be the other way around!!! They are all sharing your stage with you, and knowing Warren, he probably made you feel that way!!! Just class!!!! All class!!!

ANOTHER KICKASS TUNE WHERE HAYNES FULLY EXPRESSES HIS ARTISTIC INTEGRITY WITHOUT ANY INSECURITY  JUST PURE LOVE FOR HIS CRAFT AND MUSIC.

[goldog]

Warren can play anything and make it sound like he wrote it, truly amazing Artist

[thatsmactastic]

Pretty sure people write songs for Warren without even realizing it. He always finds thr heart of the original but puts his own special blend on it

[davidreynolds]

This is the definition of playing for the love of music.

[jessiepellegrin]

I put my best friend in the ground 2 days after Christmas 2020, & I played this song alot coming up to that day. He was my 12 yr old chocolate lab, truly man's best friend! Miss him! 😇

[cwferguson]

in my humble opinion, this is the best version of this song . Its live and done with taste and class .

[thewolfofwokest]

Youtube should be crucified for putting an ad in the middle of that soul melting greatness.

[shopapa]

All I can say is "WOW" gotta love the just puts you in another dimension🤪

[markzentz]

Hey YouTube, How about NO ads during the middle of the dam song....

[bennybeauregard]

A gathering of a group of awesome musicians and singers. This is a great version of a beautiful song.

[dannylau]

I'll be damned if Warren and this band doesn't go down as one of the best ever.

[lyndaoldham]

I've been an Etta James fan all my life and I just appreciate the Mule's soul deep, down in the guts, version of this. Touched me truly. Thanks.

[sherryfuller]

A friend of mine turned me on to Govt Mule a little over a year ago. This version of I'd Rather Go Blind is simply incredible. Love it!
