It certainly didn't affect his performing, that's for sure. I was always sort of lukewarm about Don't Be Scared on the album, until I saw him do it live earlier this year, and wow. Yeah, compared to the original, it might as well be a different song entirely. I've seen it live a couple of times now and it just gives me chills. He got right around to the first verse in FP before stopping -- he stopped to re-tune, although I'm pretty sure he was the only one who heard any discrepancy.

And that shiny red guitar (which I believe is is an old Epiphone), he said he bought that day in Cincy and only used it on Headsoak. I'm so, so, so jealous you got to hear Don't Be Scared as the closer. Was hoping for that one in Cincy. That is definitely my fav Bird song even though it's not really his. I consider it his because of how he's transformed it into his own. It's so powerful. Can't wait for the DVD. Did he really start over FP? Seems totally unlike him.
