I am a songwriter..
Check six sevens on myspace music.
THINK...I do that all the time...
And I prefer the original anyway....

WRONG.
he who felt it sufferd it ,then wrote it, he is entitled to bring it.He is authentic as much as a man can be .
The rest...is...the rest.Except some that blend so well they overclass an eventual poor orignal.
THINK, and live in pain before you talk about music ,how it bleeds out of a writers pen.

It's not about comparing stuff to original compositions...live jams are supposed to be different...and there's some good playing here.

rollins was just getting warm to open the song, that second jam around 3:30 or whatever thats where he started really trading blows with cohen and holding his own

I wouldn't call it mind-blowing assistance... The only parts I liked was when Leonard was singing.

This is a wonderful, beautiful song. But if i'd heard this version before I knew the song in its original version, I would dislike it. This version completely ruins the song on every level except lyrically. Much of the beauty of the song is its sparseness, and that is taken away ugly in this horrific "jazzed" up version. Blech.
