50 years later and these two songs are still immensely applicable to today. So many just can't hear the words.

Blown away by how relevant these are for a modern audience

What do you mean ?

[@vidarlarsen748]

What a performance. That intro by Bo gives me goosebumps. The lights is unbelievable beautiful throughout these 13 minutes.

[@christ.8547]

one of the best ever...💙.

[@loucat2779]

Are you kidding me with this? This is truly a proper cover. Thought Jim might change it up a little. Respect, boys, this is gold!

[@scottrobinson4931]

I was there and I still can’t listen to this enough! Best live band in the world!

[@ecoRfan]

I was at both nights of Forest Hills. It really felt like MMJ was back. I was hesitant about going to NY on the two decade anniversary of the tragedy, but this show proved just what humanity is capable of. They really gave us everything they had those two nights.

@@dave2940 can see Towers of Light at the beginning I’m seeing MMJ doubleheader later this week in Philly 10/27-28/23. They might pull out some rare stuff like this but only they know.

[@Nickee_Sonicjinn]

I love, love, love Jim James's vocals and Bo's keyboards and their guitars and drums and everything. My old MMJ is singing Marvin Gaye? Wow, this is surreally fantastic! I can't even describe. It's just too gorgeous.

[@SybilBrown-om2qp]

They did Marvin Gaye justice.

[@padre10gardens]

DUDE these guys just SLAY everything and every song. Just masters of their domain.

[@kellydownes3454]

The piano on this is a literal portal into the sound of longing inside my heart. I can feel everything about the moment I heard it, and the energy. Thank you so much. I have come back to this again and again when I need spiritual repose.

[@arleco12]

Oh, man! Didn't expect this! A respecful rendition, but with a really nice touch of personalization. Beautiful.

[@michaelclark3195]

These guys are the best band I've seen at doing cover songs. Always amazing.

[@andrewwolak4362]

Nothing short of incredible. One of the best MMJ shows

[@Stream_Engine]

Agreed!! Saw their opener in Charlotte so glad they live streamed this amazing show!

[@maxloads9207]

Church preach tabernacle… this show was legendary for sure. Being there for this especially on 9/11. music for the world.

I agree!!!!!!!

@@Stream_Engine Damn! Jealous as f@#%, thank you so much for posting my friend!!!

[@LSUOdyssey]

i'm so glad i saw this live, the first time they did it on 12/30/17, what an incredible night and an unbelievable 3 night stand in Denver. One of my favorite songs ever and they did it so good....this is a lot more guitar heavy version than the one i witnessed but both were so good.

[@OneWildEye]

I'd forgotten how astonishing this group are. A mystical rendition + ethereal lightshow. Absolute chills.

[@johnmoss1759]

[@allinsonsherratt418]

Wow, did not expect this absolutely beautiful performance - only heard one of their songs before as it was rock😂 with a choir, 😅 Will check out all thir other covers❤

[@MichaelShtadtlender]

Thank you for posting this. It was a religious experience for me!! So glad I was there.

[@TheNancypoo]

This is amazing......

[@jmeighan1219]

I was at this concert, this was amazing, as every song is with this band. First concert since getting shutdown.

[@ecoRfan]

Night 1 MMJ at FH was my first show back since shutdown. Went both nights. Concert event of the year. That 2 night event was Jacket at their greatest.

[@sandilake]

Thanks for sharing!! One of my favorite all time songs!!

[@Clarkwork]

Best live band out there

[@Mrgreen25200]

What a wonderfull interprétation. Wish you will make a concert in France 🇫🇷 2023 🤲🤲🤲🤲

[@riderflyer]

"Golden" by MMJ is one of my favorite songs...and hearing Marvin Gaye's best two songs performed by these guys...well sitting here singing to my border collie along with this song...she knows too I can't sing; but what the hell; how can you not?

[@chrisrawding3289]

I'm getting chills reliving this. Thank you!

[@coldandblank]

me too. what a show

[@pudma56]

This is stunning. They're playing Milwaukee in February. I was told their style was different some currently and it is in a positive way. I'm diggin' everything I've heard over the last few weeks which is of course talk shows and KZbin.

[@MrTonos10]

Okonokos……still my favorite MMJ album and best version of their style. Spotify it 🥰 and buy a February ticket!

[@bcm5pointer]

I flew to NY from Kansas City to be at this show (because I was so bummed about Bonnaroo being canceled the week before). This is the only band in the world I’d make a trip like that for. If Milwaukee is local to you; go! I’ve seen them 7 times and have never left disappointed!

[@justfetus]

bless you for your uploads. an unforgettable night.

[@chemicalswithlove6904]

Like many others this is like a spiritual cleanse this is our choir to god this is going to church and being spoken the word of god just through music and vibration thank you so much to all the dudes but there’s just something about Jim’s voice his artistic aura is different level of existence thank you yours truly !.

[@amymorse9266]

No words. Heartbreaking. 9/11/2021. That we lived in NYC - 9/11/2001 is sad. What an amazing tribute.

[@joebarriga-9945]

a great rendition of this classic song, it is so apropos now, as it was then by marvin. great singing, great music, awesome...they brought the house down..

[@indigitalformat]

unreal! as usual, wish I was there, live!

[@michaeltait659]

Those 2 thumbs down has to be a mista5 good lord after hearing this my mind goes to different dimensions of bliss beautiful just beauty this is what we all need

[@wagsalot3103]

Your So Right ! Every time I listen to this I melt ! Jim’s doing his part bring love back . I’m grateful having gone to the first OBH in Riviera Maya 2014

[@arleco12]

I'm always surprised about people commenting on the amount of thumbs down. They don't exist for me.

Amazing version of both songs. Can you give more than 5 out of 5 stars? It's even more spectacular in person. Hopefully they'll include this in their setlist the next time I see them live. What I want to know is why I never hear MMJ on the radio??!!

dude needs a singing lesson lmao

[@Stream_Engine]

I’m assuming you know absolutely nothing about the band with a comment like this. Jim James is easily one of the greatest voices of our time especially during the band’s early years. For someone approaching 50 years old sounds pretty damn good to me.
