    John's signature song 'Gravity' continues to be his flagship, and well deserved it is. I love this tune to pieces and always will. This version will hold a special place in my heart for the master.

    That intro is so bluesy....starting from 0:55 may be one of the most hauntingly beautiful things that have ever happened in any renditions of gravity. Pure magicians.
    Thanks for the amazing sound quality!

The guitar amplifier is probably 1-2 of his vintage fender amps, $2000+ guitars, sound engineers with racks of incredibly powerful gear processing the entire mix. There's nothing "raw" up there. It's all COOKED, refined and perfected. The exact opposite of RAW.

      I was 16 when I heard this first, I'm 33 now. I've grown with John, from his acoustic phase, right through every era of his genius. I started playing guitar when I was 12 or 13, mostly nirvana and green day stuff. Until I heard John, I knew I had to step up my game, that there was more to this instrument than power chords.
      Now I'm no virtuoso lol but thank you John for unlocking the blues in me..

      well if you ever wonder why these musicians end up being so mainstream watered down versions of there selves. It’s because people like you don’t like them going outside the box. If you don’t like it cool, but you could tell he loved it. Why steal that from him?
