This is what Crying Lightning would have sounded like on Suck it and See. I love it.

[@TheTomito44]

its incredible how well Alex achieves fitting in with the environment; how he tries to slow down his vocals as if adapting to give the audience a really cool chill out feel, unlike other bigger, concert like spaces in which you have the drums coming in and a real solo, and Alex singing his heart out to achieve a much more jagged tone (Like in the album version). Thumbs up if you think only a real artist like Alex can do that!

[@wakinguponjupiter7505]

I think a lot of people can do that and exactly what is a "real" artist? I was gonna leave my comment with that last sentence but after reading it again it sounded very negative. Alex is an amazing artist and I happen to be one of his biggest fans. I am almost half of a century in age and I have seen alot of bands but this man and his fellow mates are one of the best groups with truly inviting and entertaining shows.

[@izacarolina401]

[@dondeestaba11]

can Alex be more talented! blows my mind every time

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Is he talented? Maybe. But what I am more interested is in his brilliant song-writing and ability to transfer the magic from studio straight to live in front of an audience. We don't see the repeated rehearsals that go on behind the scenes- that's more about hard work than it is about talent.

[@Mayfinder]

Alex is really one of the best live performers.
