He starts every song off so damn good it just hits the soul just right

[@gillsandwings]

Fantastic. And the album is incredible. Amazing production and space. Heavy. Love the energy of this live version too.

[@gracecase998]

So in love with this song. Thanks for posting it. Whomever did the sound set-up on this session is pure genius. Marcus and team are incredible it shows here.

[@letzrok1016]

Same! I’ve listened to the whole album about 4 times now. 😂 but this song is my favorite.

[@gracecase998]

@@letzrok1016 Me too and it's difficult to pick a fav on this album. I also like This Far gone.

[@davidennis1081]

These sessions just underline for me that he should have used this band for the album. 💁🏻‍♂️

[@zzyzx-road]

Love his band but Eric Krasno and Cory Henry as your session band ain’t too shabby either.

[@mstuckey311]

I honestly don't care for his albums, I want the live experience! If all these recordings were the new album, it would be Grammy worthy for sure.

[@BEEFTCB]

I was pissed when I found out his band wasn’t his studio band. Really took a bit of his charm away for me. Marcus is incredible but his band is such a nice compliment to his sound.

[@ianholbrook4895]

His first several band albums were really good. I haven’t liked the solo albums as much. I’m holding out Hope that he goes back to recording albums with the band soon.

[@maxjohnson3196]

Go see him live if you havent, fuckin amazing.

[@mstuckey311]

Ok, all these videos need to recorded as the new album! Everyone so far has been top tier.

[@spencershafer5082]

いいな！

[@mikefewster]

This is great, but the live version from Greenville in 2019 is and will remain the ultimate version of this tune.

Absolutely agreed, glad someone else remembers that version. It was spectacular beyond belief

[@lindsayhutton6005]

I accidentally touched the screen on my iPhone while watching this and it plays at double speed I’m shocked it sounds kinda cool sped up

😅 Timely Lyrics For this day and age.

[@dyerstrayts1734]

Definitely know how to make a Strat sing.

[@Gnarledlowend]

What DI are you guys using on bass? Tks

[@the_camera_eye_8898]

so the tone wood debate stops here right?

[@zonnemarktklachtovermontag8141]

No sir, it just becomes part of a new discussion: tone materials. Just imagine all the different metals to debat about!

[@ianpaterson4956]

No it doesn’t. I bet you you if you had to get a denser cardboard the guitar would sound different.

Joe Bonamassa

[@samguernsey6003]

@@zrx338JoBo isn’t even close to singing at this level. Guitar playing is a different style. Marcus plays with more soul than Joe, Joe may be better when it comes to theory but both are great musicians in their own ways!

Marcus playing a cardboard guitar?

[@StephenStCroix]

Cardboard piano???

[@chilipeet4610]

So now Marcus has figured out that the strat is the best electric guitar ever made and making a transition? Right on.

[@gregmize01]

it's an in house guitar made from cardboard, check the discription

[@jakerichards2931]

Uhhh a cardboard strat??

[@LA-zc9rg]

Great performance here but unfortunately live his sound man ruins everything. WAY too loud, absolutely no dynamics & all instruments and vocals all mush together. I was so disappointed especially when you hear this. Marcus get rid of you current sound engineers for your live gigs. Apparently this has been a common theme based on a ton of reviews I’ve read and the 2 shows I’ve seen.

[@RaymondChengDobson]

Were you listening on your phone?

Laptop speakers?
