One of the best covers I've ever heard. This is stellar.

Remember when this song came out...It was a freedom flag flyin' for so many of my brothers...This sister buzzed hair, same feelin'...freedom to be the truth of yourself...Shine on!

just saw the mention of Rory and totally agree would have been a blow up song for him I wear a Rory tshirt w a guitar and no one even comments as the world is ignorant of the best

In 1970 I had ran from the Midwest and was living in California. My hair was just covering my ears but I was determined to let it fly. This song seemed like an anthem to a 19 year old me.

One of the best songs ever in rock music history and awesome performance. The melody gives a lot of space for guitar solos. Wish he never finishes up playing. CSNY fans must like this guy!

This is so beautiful. What a singer, what a guitar player...

Judging by this song, this guy should be well known - if not a superstar! I have never heard of him - love his voice! I will try to see him if ever possible. I'd love to hear more from him. The whole band is great! Well done remake!!

Man, I love Davy He is incredible. A fellow Rory worshipper.

Wow! Power house performance of a classic with some house burning down guitar work. Amen.

Just lost my brother. For some reason, I've let my hair grow out this year. All my siblings say I look just like him with this beard and freak flag flying. I was going to cut it. It DOES get in the way. But I feel like I owe it to someone. Thanks Dave. Love and miss you Ralph.

My guitar teacher told me about him. He came to The Tin Pan in Richmond, Va, a couple of years ago. I bought my teacher a ticket and we saw Davy and his great band! He was awesome!! The drummer and Bass player are beasts!! Great concert. You have to see him him if he is scheduled anywhere near you!!!

Jesus,73 yoa today and found this by happenstance TY so very much Peace out

What a perfect rendition of a song of always loved. David Crosby would be proud. It almost seemed like Joe Cocker imitating David Crosby. Super cool, great performance, can't say enough about it.

Knowles is a great package of playing and a great voice.

Thank you, Dave Crosby For letting us freak flag fly✌🏽🎸

Had to play it over for a second time. Amazing stuff, we need more real talent in music today. Can’t wait to see him live. 😎

So proud to be Manx, Davy has been doing this for years amazing talent hope he finds the fame he deserves,the boy has worked his ass off,good luck mate Isle of Man so proud.

Now that's rock n roll folks! Gotta love it! Great job!

Great playing by Davy Knowles. Great angle of Davy from his right. Beautiful. Thanks for this video.

I’ve always loved this song and what an awesome cover this is.

Fabulous guitar player and incredible singer !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This is beyond good!

This performance dates back to 2017. Here in Italy, his "Hell to pay" has just begun to be played and known. Here in Italy real talent is always discovered later than elsewhere. What a pity!

Davy is awesome. Killing it on that tele!

This guy is the real deal.

Baseball player Magglio Ordonez (White Sox, Tigers), while an active player, grew his hair out - like Davy - and when a reporter asked him why he did it, he answered: "It's because that's who I am." I have hair like Davy and when people ask me why or even criticize me I answer the same: "It's who I am."

This guys guitar talents are unsurpassed, great tone and vocals, the Hammond in the background kicks it. No other instrument can match it with a Leslie speaker. Disadvantage? Probably the cause of my seven back surgeries from moving it back and forth to gigs😘 back in the day.

Love this...Davy is truly an amazingly talented musician! Can't wait to see him again on Keeping The Blues Alive at Sea V in February 2019! Davy was a wonderful discovery, new to me, rockin' blues artist on last year's cruise!!!

Effin' incredible. I have never seen such a perfect cover of a perfect song. Yes I have. When he performed it 9 years earlier (2008 Washington DC concert, I think) with a different but just as effective lead guitar break that demonstrated the wide range of techniques he had developed by the age of 21. What a talent!

You'll find video of him on stage with Warren Haynes, Joe Bonamassa, Paul Reed Smith, MIckey Hart and Bill Kruetzman. Johnny A, Peter Frampton to name a few.

Oh maan.......you looks and play like Rory Gallagher. Great music!

Sublime

Holy shit was that good!

Still has the same ole sound as he did when he started with the original band. Hopefully he never changes. Its awesome. And he's awesome. Great sound you don't get anymore.
