Terrific version. I'm sure the Posies guys brought it to the table, but I give Alex Chilton (who was the boss!) credit for implementing it as well as playing great 2nd guitar.

Wish I could go back in time and thank Chris Bell from the bottom of my heart for creating this masterpiece.

Anyone who loves Cheap Trick's first 5 albums has to hear this song... and fall in love with it.

@gnuorder yes, I know the origins of the song and the history. But, the question was about whether the band playing were Big Star or not. I was simply making the point that the band in that incarnation was indeed Big Star.

@suzymills Actually it is a Chris Bell solo song from his album "I am the cosmos" so technically Big Star is covering it even though Chris Bell use to be in the band.

@alexandermorison dont be confused or worried. i am the cosmos is my saying. i was lstening to chris bell's beautific perfection and looked for something like this on the net and found this. not bad. slow but good. god i wish folks made it to 28.

Nuper

I wonder why alex never sang this.

bell really wears his heart on his sleeve here-gotta take my hat off to him-it's quite embarrassing in a way-but i still love/admire the song

@suzymills Thanks for that.

@suzymills Thank you for your reply. Didn't Chris Bell and Alex Chilton fall out?

Suzy Mills

@alexandermorison No, that is Big Star, playing Big Star songs at a Big Star show. Jon & Ken from The Posies were in the band along with original members Alex & Jody. It is Jon singing on this song, but it's still Big Star.

That was brilliant. I am confuzzed by the bigstar tag tho. That was the POSIES yes? Great rendition of what really is a tough arrangement. Not a song I would ever feel I had the competence to cover.

The Posies are such a good band with a fantastic sound. They proudly carry the Big Star/Chris Bell/ Alex Chilton torch.
