Breathtakingly beautiful. A masterful collaboration on one of the finest songs ever written.

My preference? Indoors. The art (at one point, there's a woman looking over your shoulder!). The overall clarity. I just loved it all ...

I prefer the indoor version, the dynamics of the room added to the overall sound. Being outside a lot of the sound seems to be lost in the wide open space.

Wow! Fabulous comment. Thank you. I agree with you about the song: there are very few 3 chord songs to beat this one.

Yes, I agree. The outdoor version has great stereo though, particularly through headphones.

I like the intimacy of the indoor one more but they're both fine performances,

The fact I listened to them both is a testament to the quality as I *really* don't like the song at all.

I think this is one of those songs that people either love or hate. Many thanks for listening to my versions though.

BOTH GREAT but..

Ken both sound great and I dig the interesting graffiti backdrop in the outdoor one, but I love to watch you playing and the indoor one allows me to do that. The outdoor one is just too far away. Always love watching your vids. Thanks and I'm getting chords now for that song, don't know how I could have overlooked it til now

Yes, we had a lot more control over the indoor one. Disasters still happened though: television with the words on shutting down when it wanted to, not deciding in advance who should sing the tune, etc.

We played it in F. It seemed to fit our voices and also gave me chance to do a drone on top C (1st string, 3rd fret). Chords used were F, Bbmaj7 and C.

This is great Ken! I love the picking and the vocal harmonies. Lovely stuff.

I preferred the outdoor version The sound might not be as full, but the background was very cool. Both were very good.

We searched for ages for a quiet place to record that day. Thanks for listening.
