IVA THAT'S SO GREAT! Thank you so much

[Automatic Writing]

Amazing compilation, great job. On a side note, I was wondering if anyone had a link or otherwise to John singing/playing Sweet Jane?

[Iva]

Yes, there's a video of the 2006 performance, I thought I put it on the site, but apparently, I didn't. Will get back atcha with the actual thing. Might have mp3s/FLACs of the earlier rendentions, too.
