Studio versions just don’t cut it for some songs. I originally had the studio cut on my playlist for this round and the song, while technically impressive, passed me by a little bit. Our submitter, however, was clever enough to specify that this should be listened to on Youtube and I must say it is a whole other experience watching the group (I’ve lost count of how many of them there are!) perform this live. 30+ million Youtube hits don’t normally happen for songs like this, which should tell you how awesome this is. All the musicians are great, but I need to acknowledge the drummer who is particularly fantastic here.
I can’t say this will be in my regular rotation as much as some of the others, as it’s such a chunky piece that requires more than just background listening, but I’m looking forward to uncovering more and more layers with each viewing. It’s like a big meaty steak, that you’re not gonna eat it every night but you’ll damn well savour it when you have it in front of you. Excellent pick.
