While this version lacks the lurid sexuality of the original, these young guys are a great band in the style of Haight Ashbury circa 1967.

@plainoldme,

That guitar player on the right gets a great tone out of that Les Paul. Like you said : Jefferson Airplane-Quicksilver Messenger-The Grateful Dead

Yep, that's where those guys are. I'm going to look for more of their stuff.

the melody is quite old; a Gaelic melody called Bunessan. Then a Christmas carol Child In The Manger

@panzade,

Wow! That is fascinating to know that was the original melody (and sung by Sarah Brightman). It was the melody Cat Stevens used (as the cover) on 'Morning Has Broken'.

My buddy at work told me that Bruce had covered Manfredd Mann's "Blinded By The Light". I had to play him the original.

Is this cover really better than the original? Well, considering that this band influenced Bob Dylan and played at the wedding of David Bryne . . .
