    I did my best, cause I think Jeff putting himself out there like that is the sweetest thing, but I just can't get into the song... Still feel honored to have witnessed it, both times ever played.

    Yes, it is. You've seen the song performed live, why should you have any desire to deny that of any other fans?

    I like it at least as much as I like BRY. I'm sure MSG2 was an amazing show but they certainly did pull out some of the clunkier rarities.

    To answer the OP question.

    Yes.

    It was cool to hear, but it's definitely not my favorite song on Lost Dogs, I'll tell you that much.

    I definitely appreciate Jeff putting himself out there and being willing to sing it on such a huge stage.

    The first time I heard it, I thought, "eh." Last night I thought it was cool. I'm now hoping Jeff gets to sing Evenflow. What a voice.
