Jun 22, 2010 - Actually Mary Jane's Last Dance sounds like this considering Waiting For The Sun was recorded about a year earlier.

Jul 19, 2010 - Not only does this song predate the Petty song, but Benmont Tench played organ on this album, so I think it's a fair guess that Petty had heard this song when he wrote MJ's last dance.

Jul 20, 2010 - wow...I never put all that together re; the Petty/Tench connection. On another note, why is the house drummer (anton what's his name) playing drumset and the Jayhawks drummer is playing congas that you can't hear??? I love all of the Jayhawks records...such a wonderful band...such wonderful records!

Jul 27, 2010 - Who plays piano at 0:08 (just before the organ starts)? Overdub ?

Sep 19, 2010 - Paul Schaeffer does this song complete justice on organ. Man I wish these guys were still together and touring. I was late to the party and only saw them a couple of times pre-split.

Nov 25, 2010 - i just watched them on Letterman in '03 "Save it for a Rainy Day" via UToube - then going back to this 12 years earlier, amazing. I am sure I saw these back in the day, but nice to re-live it. This band was around for a long time and never got the respesct they deserved...

Feb 19, 2011 - I saw these guys front row at Taste of Chicago in the 90's...still one of my favorite groups...they're awesome. I'm bummed I missed the accoustic show they did here at the Vic Theater in Chicago last month. They played Hollywood Townhall all the way through on Thursday then Tomorrow the Green Grass the next night. I hope they stay together for a while.

igrowhigher Says:

Apr 21, 2011 - re: your question about Anton Fig -- well this song is essentially Gary Louris' tune (he sings it because he wrote it) and since Fig is a great drummer and was available, Gary probably preferred to use him instead of Ken Callahan. I don't think Louris liked Callahan's drumming. About ten years ago I made the mistake of asking Louris about Callahan and Gary had a fit! By the way, I think Callahan is a great drummer too!
