He had that entire room holding their breath for three minutes. Iconic

You should check out the version recorded on Howard Stern. It’s even better

You can just hear James saying, "Everyone just sit down, and let me show you how it's done." Damn.

Priceless to finally have this in great quality! A humble, joyful, sincere, intimate rendition of a classic! I would have loved to see Joni's reaction to this marvelous performance. I know I'll be coming back to this many times!

Why does this version sound/feel like a euology? I mean... It's truly beautiful - heartachingly so, like that perfect girl you just see as she's leaving, and you and your friends are walking in...

My personal favorite version beside Joni's.

He makes any song his own. Easily one of the greatest muscians of all time. That's guitar playing, that voice, not to mention the countless masterpieces he wrote himself

7000 views? This one of the greatest renditions of a song I've ever heard. Way better than the original, and CSN's version.

I don't understand it, either. He was on the Howard Stern show shortly afterwards, doing another rendition of this version and this video has the expectable more than 145.000 views. It's a good version, as well, very similar, but still not as flawless a performance as this here. I wouldn't go as far as to call it better than the original, though.

Are you (STILL!) on drugs? Nobody can touch Joni's original, which blew my mind when I first heard it while camping out in Big Sur in 1970.

Lukas Wensting The Howard Stern rendition is absolutely AMAZING

That version is MUCH better, @@lastfewtokes, IMO! Thanks for the tip: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrGElbuQxLi0aaM.html (STILL not quite up to Joni's BBC version on the grand piano, again IMO!)
