This is a pretty rare find. The quality isn't too bad either. I love the lyrics to this version. I think it's really cool to see how a song evolves, kind of like In Repair with "One Song, One Day."

Anna Johnson have you heard Lenny/Man on the Side from Any Given Thursday? He was planning on playing The Wind Cries Mary after Lenny, but said he felt Man on the Side more. That's a beautiful thing when a musician can be so fluid as to change his/her setlist so spur of the moment. Amazing.

McKay Carter I totally get that choice actually, I think man on the side would fit way better after the version of Lenny he produced. I think the emotion he poured into lenny definitely fits into man on the side better

This just goes to show that not everything you create has to come out perfect. It really takes guts to question your own piece of art and ask for what it needs to evolve to its best self and do it. This just inspires me to make more music and carve all of it beautifully, just like this man has done. I believe, John! :)

The only difference is they don't trash on other channels. You're the only one who talks crap on how bad their content is or how "un-rare" the material is. For most fans, it is rare so give em a break. Low key I understand you want to have the reigning channel but Chaferbud has been loved for years so cut him some slack.

@mickoallen A very small distance of musical notes.. Like the difference between 350Hz and 349Hz. Can't really explain it too well in English anyway =P. But to be honest, there's no singer who sings perfectly clear on the right notes, it's always some 'millitones' higher or lower than the note it should be sang on. Like.. 1Hz to 10Hz difference (just my estimate).
