Interesting little video followed by another new restored video of James actually playing it in concert at the BBC.

Enjoyed those, Phil, esp the first vid. I don't think the "restored" footage has done the sound in the second vid any favours. This BBC concert was one of my favourites which I have watched a great many times. I tried to find it just now but it seems to have disappeared since the emergence of the tweaked version. To my ears this new version sounds much harsher on the treble strings of the guitar, the bass has lost its full thuddiness and the voice is waaay too trebly, much of his rich warm vocal tone has gone. The original sound was "of it's time" and all the better for it and this attempt to bring a more modern crisp sound to it don't do JT or his guitar any justice. Rant over! Actually I enjoyed it more than the above would seem to indicate, though I stand by my rant. Keith
