It's not a bad version by any stretch; DDY did it justice. Hearing DDY's voice doing the main vocal through the whole thing is a bit odd since I associate this song with Tommy. This is one definitely done because of the popularity of that song in that part of the world, much like Babe was a request from the promoter in Japan when Styx played there after Gowan joined. That said, DDY did a much better job with Tommy's song than Gowan did with Babe ...

Tommy would get paid anyway for its use live, so it's not an odd pairing.

Off topic a bit- I'm pretty stoked though. I'm putting together an acoustic project, a duo. One of the songs that we're doing is Boat on the River with the mandolin and stuff. Should be fun! That friggin' F chord though. I thought it sucked on guitar, sucks worse on mandolin.

Okay, now back to your regularly scheduled program....
