I watch this video over and over again! So powerful and amazing! Wish I could have been there live!

[@thekeysman6760]

As a session musician myself, I have to note that the few cracked notes before the outro vamp of his what we call faux falsetto which is on the majority of the verses is what keeps us on the edge, and makes it a greater performance! He actually hits true falsetto at the end, and my head always explodes with glee!

[@donbelisle9849]

OUR COUNTRY IS FALLING, ASK YOURSELF WHY.

[@trevorpark7768]

I was thinking the same thing. The crowd seems to represent a kinder and gentler time in our country--an educated and enlightened electorate. No posturing, no angry expressions, no sinister looking hoodies, no visible tattoos covering the neck and no basketball shorts or ball caps turned backwards. A time when conspiracy theorists and Q-ANON adherents were on the fringe and not worth giving the time of day to.

One morning in 1995, I was on my way to work at a law firm at 30 Rock. As I was about to enter the building, I heard this song coming from down the street and I stopped in my tracks to listen for a minute because this was one of my favorite E,W,&F songs. Then I realized that they were actually performing the song live. Needless to say, I was a few minutes late that morning. It was awesome. Don't know if this is that performance because I think it's from 1997, I'm told.
