I've been listening to this non-stop lately & I just wanted to say that this song blows me away! So moving, so beautiful. Who else is with me?

In particular, I think the Phoenix '00 one from Touring Band is near perfection!

    I was there, too. Hard to find a better opener to any pj concert. I've made a couple of pj mixtapes for people that wanted an essential collection of sorts and this is my go-to opener fo sho.

    Although I have always been partial to Sometimes too. That song works for me, and I know it's not the same for everyone. Even though that is the only song I've ever seen them abort, and to open no less!

    The version Ed, Mike, and Neil Young did a week after 9/11, I think is my favorite version. Yeah, very moving song. And a great concert opener!!!

    I agree, the version they played last year was perfect. It put the album version to shame in my opinion. I still listen to the bootleg every so often.
