    For all non-musicians here, let me explain what this is. This is an insanely perfect rendition of a complex song, played by completely acoustic instruments, all in one take, with brilliant percussion (drums) wonderful voice and 4 guitars, all in perfect sync. They played the special Live version which includes a very hard intro and a special version of the end solo, which is hard to find, so I can assume they learned all this by ear. Please applaud. This is one of a kind.

    In 1976, the legendary Eagles recorded their track in a fully equipped studio. In contrast, you guys had none of that - instead, you were surrounded by crocs and snakes. Yet, you delivered a superb performance. I would have liked to see a bit more from the backup singers, but hey, with no electric guitars, boys, you absolutely nailed it. All the Best to you and Keep singing...

      @@sunset1394 I am a guitarist. So no I didn’t fail at anything. Creation is where the talent is, finding certain catchy melodies which the public can enjoy. Anyone can learn techniques or music that came before, many can also just pick up a guitar and find the notes for it, this is all learned from years of practice. Making a catchy song though really isn’t. It’s the voice you have. All I’m saying is that when people mention “talent” for things like this it makes a lot of people give up on guitar because they think they just aren’t “talented”. Everyone can learn this stuff, just takes dedication and time.

      what a disillusioned hippyish bollocks comment this is! You have no idea what you are talking about but you think you are being a music purist. You're full of shit dude. Just be you, life's a lot easier when you don't try and be cool. The first rule of being cool is if you try, you aren't.

    Can't believe it took so many years for this masterpiece to be recommended to me by UA-cam! The vocals, lead guitarist, rhythm guitarists, percussion everyone killed it. Just raw talent and pure bliss to hear! Best cover I've heard of this song!

    The fact you took a special live rendition and perfected it this perfectly, as said by another, presumably by ear is something else. I've been playing for a good 5 or 6 years and I couldn't even hope to accomplish that level of excellence and mastery. Bravo!

This was an excellent display of percission harmonic guitar collaboration, and appreciable vocals. A very talented group here. Bravo! 🇨🇦
