+ 1 Andrew ! Does anyone know the Leon Russell version of Beware Of Darkness ?

In fact, one of my favorite vocal parts of any song, ever, is when he sings on the second verse.... Beware of sadness.....It can hit you---lead in starts at about 1:18. His vocal is incredible in its strength and conviction during the "It can hit you" part. Breathtaking. This small, 4 word section has a Dylanesque quality to it. His true feelings come out throughout this song, which you can feel in his vocals. T .rickboy88 wrote:I've had the "Concert for George" DVD for some time now, and enjoying watching it off and on. I became a big fan of "Beware of Darkness" as a result (I didn't buy "All Things Must Pass" till after I watched "Concert for George"). I almost like it better than the original.
Agreed! BOD, flawless. Great, slide solo as well. Pretty much defines his style.
