Dig this, there is an awesome interview with him, sweating in a garage somewhere in L.A. and talking about his (very) early times in guitar playing. About style, tech and sound. Both guys make it a cool but hot conversation about music - no studio and no big cameras needed. He and his band is one of my idols in playing the guitar. They have such an outstanding sound.

This is the best version in my opinion, it express clearly the feelings that this song brings..

Goddamn, his fucking voice shocks me every time. I always just assume an artist sounds different live, and they won't sing the song the same for various reasons, but fuck he does it just like the studio version and it's just beyond excellent. Awestruck is the only way to describe how I feel when I watch them do live shows on here. If I saw them in person, I'd likely stand there like a moron as my jaw hangs open from how fucking amazed I'd probably be.

It cannot be underestimated how hard it must be to play this song live, never mind unplugged and acoustic. And somehow Josh manages to make it sound this good. Outrageous band.

How has it taken me 9 years to see this? Incredible performance of an underrated song. And the cutaways to a room full of professional musicians and critic just sitting there...priceless.

Or a fantastical session of rock-out-ism. This is what the most important musicians have to offer, and I just hope the overall fame and love they get is payment enough- because i've never paid for music in my life and it hurts that I've never been able to "afford" to.

My absolute favorite QOTSA song. It's brilliantly written and performed. I could listen to it on repeat for hours (sometimes I do). I love Foo Fighters, but why aren't the QOTSA as well known, played and popular as the Foos? Both bands are amazing.

Such a great performance. Funny when Josh cut Troy down at the very start before he got carried away on a live recording coke induced rant 😄 a true front man

Love how he interrupts. "thanks a lot Troy!" then ignores him when he replies "well there we go then!"

I'm so happy to have JUST NOW found this. Long time qotsa fan, but this literally gives me goosebumps. I'm so happy to be apart of this life where we live with soo many legends. Qotsa being one.
