Topic: New version of "Don't Burn Down That Bridge" from Mumbai

For those of you who didn't dig into Pithaly's generous archive of Joe's recent storming of the Indian subcontinent, attached for your listening pleasure I bring you....the new (and improved) jazzy funky version of one of my fav Joe songs of all time:

Very cool...not at all how I imagined it from Jim M's description.

P.S.  Cathy...it has plenty of guitar-ho licks for you too :-)

Sounded me like something from Robert Cray's catalog.

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"

That's a complete different version than it's original.
But I like it.See if he'll play it also in Holland next month.

Kinda on the fence bout that version. I do love the explosive guitar.  I just love the original version so much.   Give another listen later with better speakers than this little laptop.  Thanks Carl.

Take care everyone. And if I don't meet you no more in this world
Then ill, I'll meet you in the next one and don't be late, don't be late

It's way different from his original version.  Having heard Burn back in 02 live was one of my favorite songs.  This is really hard to compare the two together, you just have to take it for what it is.  It is good to see the setlist mixed up a bit too.

Thanks for posting the link...

Wow another complete live makeover of a song, just he did to Mountain Time.
Did anyone else notice that Joe's altering the volume and tone controls a lot, especially at the beginning?

Thanks for posting this. I've been wanting to see this again since seeing it in Vegas. I love the way this has been reworked. Soooo sexy! big_smile Rick really does great keyboard work on this one.

I'm just saying.

It's a great "alternate" version of the song. But Joe's original version of the song was just too good, it's very hard to beat.

It's just a different sexy, jazzy, bluesy application of pure power.  Shows maturity and fearlessness.  Stepping out on that faith thing.  I like 'em both.  Albert King is grinning saying here's another guy with some soul, Doc.  You must be pleased.
