So many years later and I still come back :)

[@MrLucaplaya]

He is sooo godalike:) Best version I've ever heard of that song:) Thumbs up if you agree;)

[@charmxxxx]

Love this man!!!! He's amazing and I love the two instruments that he uses to create music! The Taylor guitar with nylon strings and his angelic voice! LOVE IT!!!

[@ChocolatTherapy]

WHAT?! This version is so incredible!! I only know his "rapversion" but this one is so sweet!! The guitarplaying sounds so sweet! Love it!

[@sdubs44]

original gypsy version...this brings me back

[@brianbranham1977]

absolutely right. the circle of energy transformed from the crowd to the stage and then back out again is the best thing about live performance, ask any artist.

[@djmmjd3]

damn it! I've loved this song for so long. I want him to release it but still keep its elusive-ness.

[@SakSakMuLah]

Beyond Godlike...

[@JSvM90]

Dutch crowds just know how to enjoy a good concert! Jason is great and I'm sure that the people in Rotown enjoyed it....!

[@jamesdavies9381]

best version of this song! covering this at my next gig!!!

[@shotao]

SO PERFETC! AMAZING

[@Fila007]

woah~

[@Andrewcarry]

Still the best

[@ChocolatTherapy]

And then not to mention his voice! Oh, I just found my new favorite song ever!!^^

[@charmxxxx]

Can't hear Jason too well because all of the drunk concert peeps. His voice is so soothing... =)

[@GamerFarmand]

My new number 1 top smash hit - Annihilator of all previous favourites - Hopefully the world will see this song performed live on his upcomming tour, and more importantly I hope he sees fit to add a live-version clone of this performance on his next live-album. It really does not get ANY better than this. /D of Denmark

[@Mikmikonet]

thank you so much!!!

[@IvanBaez1]

This song is sick! He doesn't sing it enough. He has the "official video" of this song on you tube. He doesn't seem too happy at this concert. Voice is still the same - and thats all that matters!

[@Billium42o]

This actually is the original version, the version you're used to hearing is called 'Mudhouse' which someone else came up with.

[@SolidGamer92]

What the heck, I'll thumb this up a 32nd time! :D

[@bluesjinsoo]

fantastic~!!

[@Juedav]

definitely would love a tab for this version.

[@flutsh1]

the mistake @ 05:03 really shows how good he is... the correction is brilliant. I bet only few ever noticed this in the concert hall xD

[@channel3mcfurley]

eargasm

[@pinktink1925]

Wow this is why i love jason this sounds completely different than the original

[@albmfc]

Damn his picking hand technique is flawless...

[@highlight341]

"Nothing could've possibly fallen out of my zipper." He said it with such a straight face at first. I was like, "...For real?"

[@ayowaya]

Live only. He always keeps some for live audiences.

[@gmrhl]

que molleja el tipo es lo maximo tremenda voz! tremendo artista! :O shocked by his voice

[@Anubislive81]

ABout he being loud: there were only a 10 people there... cameraposition is right in the middle of the crowd, and the setting is pretty intimate, and the volume of the music is lower then usual. so no wonder that you hear the peeps. It was a great performance by Jason.

[@BBoyZVF]

I ♥ the shirt

[@hafidhishari9060]

I'd like to give a shout out to all the g-y-ps And individualize because I am an MC. I can because I care, cause my family's there Cause I (cause I what?), cause I (cause I what?) 'cause I appreciate the mentality of music Saving all my sentences unless of course they're smoothly spoken Quiet type the kind to watch out for No man of the clan perpetrating the scam Sure, I'm the boy with the fallopian voice Straight from the sleeve of any wizard of choice I got the reason to be roamin' out the coverage area Send me the bill if all my lovin is scarin' ya Dare you to dream the way that I believe Got the skill to go commando in any fatigues I got the best damn band in the music scene I can also flow solo just let it be because, of the love Oh the self-realization is the if and and but 'cause you gotta know your name before you play-a the game Keep a level-headed check on your health and stay sane Address the tack on the track put the needle on the record and prepare for playback say jack, Could I buy another vowel I need another clue and I could also use a towel And how, goes the medium tempo Slaying all the teachers like the class of '84 Well down low you know that my fidelities go And I would never hurt a fly with my flip-flops on, got control Even keep a clean toilet bowl 2000 flushes blue and it's still going strong Do I do what I do for the sake of the song comin' through on the radio It's for you, this is proof my own story's a spoof I'll always be a gypsy or forever be aloof And if you never get to liking me it's okay too But you've made it this far so pay a toll at the booth and move on Yeah I got top score on Donkey Kong, move on Move on Move-a-move-a move-a move-a-move on True or false? I can be a sensitive man With sensible plans for the everyday woman And I can keep her eating out the palm of my hand Because the dope that we smoked was grown on my land The words I burn they don't come from a can The movie in my mind will be the winner at Cannes So take your chance, apply for full or part-time romance Cleverer the better, measure up to whatever Cause it don't matter how tall, how fat, or how small The equal opportunity is open to all The casting call the line forms down the hall All you need is ID that shows that you're legal But people with egos, well you better not go Cause' you know I don't need those And if there is a problem that I really oughta read Post it on the web care of R-K-O-P It's easy like me but a bit less the sleazy Go heavy on the melody and add a little cheese And if you can't stand the kitchen, get the hell out the heat To meet with the geek all you need is a Heart beat beat beat beat beat beat beat… And remember that fame, fame is Nothing more than loving someone And fortune is nothing more than loving what you do Is nothing more than loving you Well, I'm type A positive and just the way I like it Right away I'm satisfied with my food before I try it Can't deny it to save my life, I'm never lying To brave this mic without the same thing twice Is actually an act to staying up all night With the mood just right and the purchase of a flight From the west coast to the northern lights It's aurora borealis' company that I'm tight with Despite all the things that you've heard I'll admit that most is true and I'll be keeping my word By doing double-duty on a search for new verbs And I report to work early to deliver the worm With a back well covered by the buddies of ease There ain't no way in hell that I could ever catch a disease And breaking all the codes on the latest machines Well I will even let you download me for free I'm free …I'm free Just remember that fame, fame is Nothing more than loving someone And fortune is nothing more than loving what you do And in the eyes of love Love will overcome, love will overcome Will ohh Will over Over overcome It's true Cause look what you've done To me, to the gypsy

[@pinktink1925]

cool :P

[@juelsisgewd]

his reaction to the lady when she said 10000 motherfuckers...priceless.

[@baysideful]

bril :D

[@bctinio]

Love that shirt too. Isn't there a type of that shirt that has that picture, but underneath it, it says harmony? I don't know where I saw it from though. Wish I could have it!

[@whalenz66]

I feel like whoever clicked dislike on this did it by mistake..

[@bigyoch21]

There are so many rude assholes in that crowd. He is such a good person & doesn't deserve that.

[@bctinio]

I love this version of the song. Does anyone know the chords for it?

[@thisishowweviewit]

@Plottoberry No, I get that part. But during the actual songs they are pretty loud as well.

[@djsamfranklin]

Any chance you have this as audio only? this is amazing. thanks

[@Plottoberry]

@thisishowweviewit You probably weren't there. The audience was constantly asking for all sorts of songs, including his rare songs like After An Afternoon.

[@brianbranham1977]

goddamn he doesn't miss a lick. fuckin intense.

[@Em3501]

ha his fly was down ;) :L i love it how he doesn't care :P

[@i12win]

3:30-4:25 he kills it

[@flutsh1]

in that part of the song he plays the "E ad9" & "A maj7" chords in that order... but @ 05:03 he starts laying his fingers for a A maj7 chord, but within 0.5 sec he corrects to the E ad9 chord... if u listen very closely you can only hear a single A note instead of the E... you barely hear it to be honest =) wich in my oppinion is really brilliant, how fast he corrects... most people (like me ;) would fck up real bad lol

[@i12win]

@Nickpatient its in Holland man? What else do you expect than a kickass party?

[@yuroso]

This is an awesome audience, stop writing shit! Everything an artist wants is that the audience enjoy his music, and that's what they're doin'!

[@erinburbank22]

So jealous of this crowd

[@diannika]

...only if we share him : ) ♥@itsmda

[@charmxxxx]

I've just been told by some guitar players/enthusiasts. I suppose the nylon gives a better acoustic sound for performances. Let me know if you hear otherwise...:) Thanks

[@shotao]

i got it by the ear, i dont know the chord's name ;/

[@FrayLifehouse]

i need a fuckin tab, eh

[@eyelashkiss]

i love this version :) he's always amazing... fuck the audience but see what mraz is capable of from 4.25 or something :)

[@SolidGamer92]

4:07 some guy shoutin' -.-' totally ruins the mood :o

[@lizziechig]

there are 3 deaf people in the house.

[@stifledbabsie]

Ok, did he just sing, "I'm the boy with a fallopian voice"? Sorry, I used to be to date on all of his songs but college keeps me too busy to keep up to date with any music.

[@bctinio]

@itsmda, speaking of which, is he single?!

[@caprafan]

Sounds like they were pretty rowdy/drunk.

[@leexy26]

how issit a mistake???

[@lulubutterfly24]

why?

[@diannika]

nononon.oooo.... i'm marrying him :) ♥ @itsmda

[@thisishowweviewit]

@itsmda Not anymore, he is engaged :]]

[@Swagg3r3d]

if he looks unhappy its prolly cause that audience kinda sucked

[@thisishowweviewit]

The reason people are so loud is cause they only know i'm yours and the remedy so if thats not what he is playing, they don't care. they should just be quiet and respectful especiall when those women keep screaming "HALFWAY HOME!!!" in the other videos haha.

[@ElevenInfinity]

yeah he probably won't be coming back to that place... horrible audience
