Phone Went West!

[Tony Two Tone]

Holy crap, I don't know how I looked over this song!

Just listened to this for the first time yesterday and it brought tears to my eyes!

Now I can't stop listening to it!

[DavidCrosby]

...a newbie I brought with me to RCMH fell in love with that song when they played it and has since not stopped playing it........

[Clarkwork]

I always loved the way they ended this song live.  Do the still end it that way?  I haven't really heard it live in a while.  It is where Jim just starts playing by himself then the band builds back up with him.  One of my favorite MMJ songs live.

[Salacious D]

I feel in love with it at Bonnaroo and have listened to it at *least* once a day since then. . .

As far as how they're playing it live now, all I can really tell you is that it's quite a bit faster live than it is on the album. I guess that's why I never paid too much attention to it before. . .

[Dodobird]

I feel the same way. I totally overlooked this song. When I heard them play it at RCMH it blew me away. It is such a powerful ballad. I had never heard it live before Radio City. It is completely different from the studio version.

Clarkwork:  Yes to your question. Jim ends the song by singing alone and the band builds back up behind him again.

I love it!

Uhh, yeah how did you look over this song. I made a mix of Jacket songs for a female friend of mine (my old running/workout partner ya pervs) who was getting divorced. This song made her cry for over an hour. She just looked at me and said everything was going to be ok.

[Honest Man]

This is the song that made me a fan. I must say the first time I heard it was the most energetic. They all had the long hair bashing and I remember Johnny Quaid Flailing the guitar all over the stage.

Fucking epic.

YES!!! my favorite live version of the song.  I love when Jim is just playing the flying V at the end by himself.  Terrific.  This has been off of youtube for a while, glad to see it is back up.  I wonder if this crowd realized how great this was as they were watching it.  

[aslongasukeepa]

great ass song. its a good almost recap of the at dawn album before strangulation finishes it off. the version from bonnaroo 04 is really tight too.

[C-Bear]

 I always felt like this was Johnny Q's masterpiece.
He always rocked it at the end!! playing the guitar in the air- classic MMJ.

This is my favorite song of theirs.  I loved it in the Bonnaroo rain this year.  The best live version of this that I've heard I found on emusic Live at the 9:30 club 8/16/2002.

This is a great version and I love the way the ended it back then.  This set also has a great version of Heartbreakin Man.  If you don't have it go and get it from emusic.
