Great live when he first performed it in 99/00, but I never liked the studio version. Too plodding. My favourite version is from the Seeger 06 tour:



I think that whole album and tour is criminally underrated by his fans. I'm still staggered that Bruce released a country album in 05, a traditional folk album in 06 and a massive rock album in 07 (and toured behind all three with different bands/solo). 2002-2008 was a great time to be a Bruce fan.

One of the best songs he's ever written but also one of the worst sounding. Somebody please remaster/remix Magic already.

Oh wow. Yeah, I hadn't realized that's when he bowed out. I really hope he's okay.

No worries, man, It just happened a little while ago. You've still got plenty of time to pick.

I don't see why not. I don't even remember specifying studio tracks. So if there's a live only, non-studio, track you like, grab that one.

Specifically a live official release of a cover song.. the original version is classic but I'd imagine Bruce made the song as famous as it is today

You all need to fucking stop dropping song titles that haven't been picked yet. It's like you guys have never done one of these tournaments before.

No worries, man. I just really thought everyone would pass on it, and if that really played out that way, then I'd take it. I love the Waits version way more. I was going to do it as a nod to Waits and because my knowledge of Bruce's catalog is so narrow. But I've been expanding what I know over the course of this thing so I don't mind not taking it. I'm glad SOMEONE took it though. It's a great song and a great cover.

You should check out Bruce's cover of Stayin' Alive from a few years ago. It is great.
