    When the song started I was like "oh they nailed the organ sound down perfect". Then I was, "wait, that's too perfect of a match. Is this real?". Then the guy started singing and I'm "FAKE! No way he sounds like that".
    OH... MY... That was absolutely breathtakingly good. It's a modern recording of the original, that's as close as I can make it out to be. Incredible in every way. The subtle distortion on certain notes, the speed of the Leslie, the tone of every instrument, including the voice, the recording space, the compression, the mix. All of it is dead on perfect. I'm responsible for a couple dozens of the video views, and I'm not done hitting replay. Wow.

    Your interpretation is wonderful because It's important for the best sound to have a Hammond with a leslie.
    And add the voice, the bass and the drums is better.
    I am lucky because I have seen Gary Brooker in Paris in 2015.

All of his other performances are fantastic, however just seem hollow compared to this. Maybe I’m wrong? Anyways amazing rendition. Beautiful and timeless.

Lachy, i've turned so many friends onto you, and I always say, "he writes brilliantly, and delivers it in such a way that you think you're listening to a song you've heard 100 times on the radio, and yet he wrote this. That's how deeply rooted he is in authentic blues." Thanks for delivering such peace inducing tunes.
