can't think of any better way to demonstrate just how much better a musician devin became in that decade than just listening to the first 60 seconds of each of these. the vocals in the original feel almost unlistenable to me at this point, it's so flat and uninteresting compared to what he did on epicloud
i really, really hope he gives this kind of treatment to deadhead some day. when you watch enough live performances of it you realize he has an entirely different way of playing it when he does it live. and it sucks because deadhead is my favorite song but my favorite version(s) of it lack studio recordings
