Couldn't find a Youtube of it, but Widespread Panic's version in 2001 in Charlotte was probably their best version.


I still like Gov't Mule's on their Live With a Little Help album the best. Built to Spill's a close second.

That is what prompted this thread. Their album Live is sick.

Great song musically and some of the most insipid lyrics ever written. Supposedly he wrote the song while still in high school.

Neil Young might be the most overrated guitarist of all time

Don't get me wrong I love my boy Neil, but he is not very good

But on this subject, yea that Built to Spill cover is titz

I doubt ole Neil gives a crap about your opinion. And I am willing to bet people will be listening to him play guitar, and covering his songs, long after your legacy is nothing more than a few comments recorded on an internet message board.

This statement couldn't be much more ridiculous. It's not his best work, but it's far from insipid and even farther from most insipid ever.

As a point of reference

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but... Wow. Seriously? You're gonna need to provide more to back up such a statement.

"Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones"



Sorry, but these lyrics are just bad and wildly inaccurate historically. The Aztecs were pretty damn bloodthirsty and war was a way of life for them.

Fair enough, but none of that is "insipid."

No one gives a shite about his guitar playing ability. You don't listen to Neil to hear him shred.


To answer the OP, any version with WH. He nails it.
