    Granted - it's probably the definitive version - despite the fact that Bruce's version is superior in every way (sorry Magic).

    I'm not sure it would work without the visual component of the Biz writhing on the ground screaming "Benny!! Benny!!"

    OK, I take it back. I found it on iTunes and it still kicks some ass, but not quite up to the live version's standard.

    It's on the Beastie Boys Anthology box set. Biz is singing. Pretty sweet.

    All the evidence one ever needs.

    As far as the thread goes, gotta go with Watchtower. Little Wing by SRV was pretty awesome also.

    Proof there's nothing new under the sun, even after 400 years. A song's a song and a well-played one is even better.
