Real nice.

[@guitarfreak585]

Why is no one talking about the singer?! Killer voice, great phrasing, really great take on a song most people really don't do that well. Everything else was great too, just thought this should be said.

[@evetssorc]

codyMBB Absolutely agree. Benni Jud full marks for a great performance.

[@billycarter4832]

Benni is a killer singer and one smokin bass player..I've been following Martin and the boys for years...World Class talent always fills that room.

[@benjudbass]

Thanks for the love guys! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@edbauer8790]

Killler beautiful vocals....seemed so natural and strong to me 👍

[@Cuchulaynn]

He has a good voice, and should fight the habit of engaging lines from low voice. It would be even better! Just think, after your breath, that your voice comes from over and land on the note.

[@TjenkinsandAige]

The vocalist is excellent in that he knows the strengths and limits of his voice. He doesn't over reach, but stays where he is strong. That is a great skill that applies to many disciplines. Nice.

[@benjudbass]

TjenkinsandAige thank you so much for this comment!

[@mendocaron]

A good exemple of a incredible musician! He always play for the songs! Total control of the instrument too! Congrats from Canada my friends!

The Martin Miller band is a great example of why, as a musician, you should learn as many songs in as many styles as possible. Never ever stop learning. FANTASTIC band.

[@stevewebertampainvestments2097]

killer bass and vocals. Mark's solo was outstanding. Just impeccable phrasing, impeccable tone. Perfection

[@FT-64]

This is how a cover should be done. It respects the original intent of the song, while letting the style and talents of the individual performers shine through. There's not a weak link in this group - and I especially like the B3 filling out the soundscape. Please give us more!

I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted to one time to see you laughing I only wanted to see you Laughing in the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you Bathing in the purple rain I never wanted to be your weekend lover I only wanted to be some kind of friend (hey) Baby, I could never steal you from another It's such a shame our friendship had to end Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you Underneath the purple rain Honey, I know, I know I know times are changing It's time we all reach out For something new, that means you too You say you want a leader But you can't seem to make up your mind I think you better close it And let me guide you to the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain If you know what I'm singing about up here C'mon, raise your hand Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you Only want to see you In the purple rain

The harmonic that Mark uses on 4:08 / 4:10 is so fucking killer that every time that I think about this cover, I remember this part of the solo.

[@999TheDaddy]

Always a total pleasure to listen to and watch such a phenomenal group of musicians. Mark Lettieri’s contribution here is sublime, a masterclass in note choice, note articulation, technique and feel. Fantastic!

[@smokinmoose2]

I’ve been watching this in my studio for a while but just tonight I listened on headphones. I was blown away before but through headphones I thought my head would explode! I’ve loaded the audio into ProTools and going forward will use it as a reference track. Although I mostly do acoustic sessions, every once and a while I get a rock band in here. Usually the guitarist is a shredder. With this track as a reference I can point out that you can play melodically while still shredding. And I love me some melodic playing! This track has it all. The musicianship is great, the vocals are great, the production (EQ, mixing etc.) is phenomenal…it all goes together seamlessly. One thing I especially liked was at the five minute mark, when the guitarists change solos, there is just enough separation in the mix that you can hear the handoff. I also love the buildup..,.the dynamics. On headphones I can hear subtleties that I miss on my JBL 4311s (I know, they’re old, but they still sound fantastic). But the mix sounds great on both the monitors and the cans. I can’t wait for the next rock group to come in here so I can show them how it can, and should, be done. I’d love to hear this in surround. I’d also love to hear it without the KZbin processing. Kudos to all involved.

[@MartinMillerGuitar]

Thank you so much. I’ve worked hard in this mix building it from zero with no template and I’m glad some people appreciate it :)

[@marketingchronicles]

This is probably one of the best songs ever written. I've listened to so many covers of it, yet to discover a bad one. Great job by this group.
