It sounds like Jerry wants to kill the song 3 times, but Bob pushes for more.

A Voice From On High
July 11, 1970
Fillmore East

Some nice harmonies and the mandolin fits in well.

For the most part, a very good version. Jerry plays some mean guitar. There is a spot where Jerry is supposed to be singing backup vocals, but leaves Brent to do it alone. Then there's the part where Brent is playing something you'd expect to hear during a boat chase scene on Miami Vice. Seriously out of place!

Bob has the vocal range and hits all the notes. The band does a solid job backing him up. Easily among the top 2 or 3 versions from the 90's.

Bob's voice is shot and he never should have attempted a song like this that demands such range and strain.
