Heard this song once on a friend's phone!.. Boy have I searched everywhere for this!!

[@Horrornextdoor666]

Such a beautiful fucking voice.

[@SamHaugen]

10th anniversary tour happening right now. I wish he was coming back to my home town.

[@ahclem51]

I think his performance is part of the package.. it gives the music a dynamic that is missing in the recorded versions.

[@PrinceAmac]

For sure, he has such a passion that's not captured in the studio. This is common with many artists, but his ability to match studio quality vocal performances live with the additional passion is just extremely rare and special to hear.

[@TheAnsatsu]

absolutely brilliant.

[@millicentbistander]

This guy's a contender. Bravo. Quality stuff KEXP.

[@markcity777]

3:16- goose bumps...........

[@giriphotography]

thumbs up if you agree that this is the better part of youtube

[@nichoyeah]

A shame his loops are out of time when he starts playing the deeper notes and giving the song a more groovy feeling, but he still rocks, and totally saves the situation so you barely notice it. I love this guy, but the best version of manchester amongst the many versions I've listened to the best performance is in "Buzzsession" (youtube channel). If you like this song check that version out, it is literally flawless and has a far better overall sound :D

[@lac0rde]

And god knows how hard it is to cover a fucked up loop. For most performers it would basically means game over.

[@snappa222]

A very deep bow from me.

[@hisdudeness47]

That about does 'er. That's a wrap.

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

Interesting.

[@bartolocasanova]
