Chad Stokes (Dispatch) - "The General", Private City Year Performance

Chad Stokes, the lead singer of Dispatch (as well as established philanthropist with the organization Calling all Crows), was kind enough to put on a private two song set for the Washington DC City Year Corps. I didn't catch the other song, also called "Calling all Crows", though I wish I had.
It was a great honor to be in the audience for this set, and I humbly remind people that serving your community can lead to incredible opportunities like this one.

@bigpapa834 He played State Radio's "Calling all Crows" and Dispatch's "The General". Absolutely mind-blowing.

Awesome song really resonates in a culture bent on war. I hope we can all mature like the general and see that the fight is not worth fighting.

only raw live version i could find of this wonderful song. shame they try to doctor such a perfect song in basiclaly every live performance shown on youtube. no hate, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. doesn't need to be sped up nor turned into some reggae tune; song is absolutely perfect the way it is.

It is a left handed guitar strung right handed and played upside down. :)

Nah, if you look closely you can see the outline of where the guard used to be. You can see it better in other videos, He ripped it off and put it in the weird spot and some of the guitar finish came with it. I don't think any guitar manufacturer would put a pick guard there, left handed guitar or not.

Not only is the pick guard on the top, it's facing the wrong way, too.
