    Three black back up singers, have always been confused by this honestly. Anyone have any info on this?

    WMA from Bonnaroo 08 is by far my favorite performance from that tour. It just sounded right. The other versions were too fast, or had back up singers etc.

    Fonzi Thornton, Arif St. Michael, Vaneese Thomas.

    I was lucky enough to watch the soundcheck up close, and see them walk the singers thru the song, and the band practice a bit on their own.

    It was an interesting experiment. :)
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)
