Still loving this great song now in 2023

[@KimberlyBaker121]

A song that can put you in a groove so deep within your soul.The mysterious heavy sound comes gently out of the instruments and the singers. Mesmerizing

[@tonyjones1560]

"Mesmerizing" is a great word for this song...!

[@SpecialDetermence]

His singing voice is really soothing, almost cured my alcoholism :/

[@PF_Health]

Simple guitar D, Cadd9, G, but such a classic tune, powerful sound, great vocal sounds.

[@jennruel2882]

PERFECTION! BEAUTIFUL! SOUNDS AMAZING! JUST LIKE THE RADIO VERSION! THEY NAILED IT! LOVE THIS LIVE VERSION! XOXOXOXOXO

[@eliteg33k1226]

One of my favorite smoke filled bar room bluesy songs

[@462-x5n]

This song is perfection!

[@idlevandal69]

The guitar tone in the solo is AMAZING...

[@lisamarierider4288]

wow... This song has the power to literally bring me back to heart broken tears in just a few bars....

[@mizzoupatriot8814]

Idk why but I want this jam played at my funeral. Love Kenny Wayne Shepherd, only one who could give SRV a run for his money.

[@tw8454]

john mayer and kenny wayne shepherd and derek trucks are the only 3 of this generation i could even name next to stevie ray.

[@charliewebb2216]

@@tw8454 I agree but come on guys none mentioned or none that I've ever seen comes close not even in the ballpark or startosphere of playing with the emotion or furosity that SRV seemed to channel for each and every Song each and every set night after night year after year. But I love trucks kws Clapton Hendrix all of them trust me I love all music check out some of my videos on my channel doing some frusciante improv prince improv and More! Thanks again much love guys

[@tw8454]

@@charliewebb2216 Furiously absolutely nobody touches SRV. Hell most people wouldn’t even be able to play his guitar. However at this point there’s quite a few people that have outlived his age and have really had the time for technical experience. Derek trucks is literally untouchable just like anything else you just have to dig and watch the videos you’ll see it first hand same with John Mayer. Do you want to hear some kick ass rock ‘n’ roll check out Going down Rolling Stones with John Mayer

[@williamkazakov2531]

Good song. I really liked the solo part, he was amazing.

[@melissaepley6866]

+Fayde Dnamron (Whitewraithe) they are still around! My fiance's hair looks exactly like the blonde guy. I got all excited because you don't see long straight blonde hair too often.

[@sfpincchicago]

The "blonde guy" is Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Perhaps you've heard of him? He has a band.

[@Mako_One]

[@DebraNormand]

I still want to see the official video returned to KZbin. Wish now I had downloaded it when I had the chance. Anyone seen Kenny's new video "Alive"? He's singing on the entire video. He's actually got a great voice. Frankly, I'm happy to see Kenny singing in his own band, no offense to Noah though. Noah took the lead for a long time while Kenny grew up and perfected his musical craft.

Still a good version of the song!

[@TheLovelyRushka]

Great song - too bad the guitar solo had to be cut short for the program

[@edsmith202]

h3ll yeah. that was perfect.

[@glensmith654]

They cut the solo short damn.

[@playmotion1632]

Days of the new

[@Amplified435]

Dude is this very days of the new-esque. I feel that way too, almost a grunge to the beat, or maybe it’s the acoustic guitar/electric guitar combo.

[@johnadams6535]

At least Conan knows which one is Kenny.

Isn't Kenny 20 years old here?

[@stevek4928]

Excuse me = maybe I'm missing something here but to me KWS is un recognizable - what happened?

[@Stan_sprinkle]

Compared to today? I hadn’t seen him in 15 years so the straight blonde haired kid is all I’ve ever known. I’d forgotten though that Kenny doesn’t sing on this song, Noah does.
