      @@rickdaniels1000 Definitely gotta disagree there. Weird phrasing choices at times, wrong lyrics, wrong chords on guitar and mistakes playing. You're entitled to your subjective opinion. All art and music is subjective. I just find it a bit disrespectful to Dave to suggest this is better than his original. I think even Dave's modern live performances are better than this. But maybe as a musician myself I just hear things differently than the average non musician listener.

    Two, an individual willing to incorporate other genres into his repertoire and do it well, especially with an instrument that many younger fans (and even me, I admit) had never seen him use (whether that was calculated or not, I'll leave to my latent nightmares of cynicism about the music industry);
    Three, a person willing to forgo the polished nonsense of MTV ( and related pastiche nonsense) and just present one's self with all flaws and strengths with PASSION.
