I like hearing LAV on the stream but thank you for posting actual video to go with these. Always interesting to see how the various bands set up in different spaces of the studios. After seeing this one, I think I might have to see them when they come through KC in June.
Is it just me, or is John looking more and more like Rick from the Walking Dead. John Butler Trio have revived this song for me. Thank you, because it was never bad to begin with, just impossible to get away from.
@@alexandreenee1653 iirc, he splits the signal, sending one clean into DI and one out slightly overdriven. He uses an expression pedal to fade in and out the slightly dirty signal.
This cover is so great that it feels like a different song! Finally a cover that makes an overplayed song even better. Though most great songs are sadly overplayed and become bad due to being played so much
At the risk of sounding patronizing - Good music doesn’t become bad, your tastes change. And maybe a song doesn’t serve you anymore, but the song isn’t what changes.
To the Williams! Great song! To the Trio! Williams just got OWNED. Beautiful job. Beautifully crafted. Beautifully played. That is what that piece should have been in the first place! Thank you!
Love you 🤟 do it for all of us who as little girls always wanted to be as confident and talented as you. i was a big fan of kids in cooperated and star search ❤ its awesome you just showed the world it doesnt matter where you start out!! You rock!

Brilliant. This version's much more to my taste. The original doesn't excite me. Maybe I'm just too rock'n'roll for my own good. You're pure genius, John Butler Trio. See you next Bluesfest.
Hey @John Butler Trio Just wanted to drop by and let you know that you three are amazing. Absolutely love your music so so so much. Good vibes only. You all and your music have helped save my life. I’m forever grateful. I hope so so so had that you guys come to Denver again!

Let's go boys! I had a short stay on Australia (NSW and VIC) for about 2 years and in this time I were gracefully blessed to know you guys. Saying so, I'm a huge fan of you guys. Keep it up! Love from Brazil.
The best cover version of this song i have ever heard. I only just discovered these guys a little while ago but lovin every min listening to your fresh style you really need to break the uk would love to jam with you guys one day best wishes for your futures ADAM
It happens to a lot of people. :) I'm from the UK, and lived in Aus and NZ for about 4 years (on/off) and by time I left the countries people thought I was from Aus or NZ, including the locals! Now I've been away for about 2 years, my UK accent has mostly returned but still with a twang. I do find English-women who have lived in Aus for a short period of time, their accents become very indistinguishable from Aussie-women very quickly. But I have a friend from England who has been living in Aus for about 10 years, and still sounds from England but you can hear the twang in his voice.
His father is australian, he was determined to always have that Australian/American blended accent, i feel the australian comes out more in his singing voice, while his talking voice is more american based.
That is SO cool. I respect Pharrell Williams' work going way back to N.E.R.D.... and although I don't listen to his music very often, I like this song, as repetitive as it may be. However, John, (and i believe it's) Shannon and Grant.... made this song their own, like they do, and did a fantastic job making it interesting with raw energy.. Well done, guys.
This is amazing. What an awesome cover. Great job, you guys. First time I've seen or heard of you guys, and I will be checking out more, for sure. Keep on rockin!
Thanks for having us ***** !
Great version crew! Made my Friday!
Unbelievable cover!
You guys are still killin' it. Love it.
Mad cover guys! well done!
So so good. Thanks boys.
jesus this guy is good live. its unreal how clean his sound is.
John Butler brought his chill vibes and hand claps to a live cover of Pharrell's 'Happy' for Like A Version!
Love it!!!

I never thought 'Happy' could be a badass bluesy song but John Butler Trio has made it so
This is great because it's The John Butler TRIO. Not just a solo. Easy to forget, but they are a brilliant TRIO.
This is the first time any version of this song has made me happy! :)
Pun intended ;)
Absolutely!
This one and Weird Al's "Tacky"
Love what John Butler does to music
In awe with that guitar tone, absolute beauty.
How t f does he get that sound with a' electroacoustic

@@gregjohnson1015 fair thanks à lot greg
@@gregjohnson1015 what’s the tuning?
This is amazing- I can't believe that he's playing and singing it at the same time. That's some crazy skill!
This man changed my life. His passion for music and his own style are parallel to none. How can anyone give this a "thumbs down" is beyond me.
This rumbles along.
Toe tappin' goodness.
Thanks Pharrell/ John Butler Trio.
Thanks JJJ.

Thank you for trusting YOU. More of that please, you are worthy, and so are we
👊😎👂✨
That right there is called CRUSHING IT.
Well that blew the original out of the park!
John on point as usual!
OMFG this is so great! Such a great version…honesty rivals the original
I like to him to do a bunch of covers with his take them, I just cant get enough of him. Its very rare that I get the chills from listening to a band.
A good song is a good song. It'll translate. Good job Pharrell and good job John Butler Trio.
John would never cover a bad song
I like this version more. ♥
To the Williams!
Great song!
To the Trio!
Williams just got OWNED.
Beautiful job.

ah true, sorry
Let's go boys!

Keep it up!
Love from Brazil.
It did work? I hope u know this guys! Sou brasileiro também kakakajak
What a great cover and tribute to Pharrell, i know he has to love it! I know i do!!
john butler will always be a killer talent!
Uhhhh coming from a Texan that is an old skool hip hop fan and loves blues ...think SRV...This is dope AF! Fire!
Cannot. Stop. Listening.
Pharrell loved this for sure.
great cover. They defiantly made it their own.
This is really cool. I like how the laid-back vibe still captures the energy of the song. Going with a very basic drum pattern really paid off!
This is one of those painfully beautiful songs that will go straight to my channel’s playlist, now!
SM7 Mic for lead vocals.... nice !! that's the same mic used on Michael Jackson's thriller album, and same mic used all over the country for radio
The best cover version of this song i have ever heard. I only just discovered these guys a little while ago but lovin every min listening to your fresh style you really need to break the uk would love to jam with you guys one day best wishes for your futures ADAM
i am not a big fan of the pharrel's version but this is awesome
Owned this song!!!!
This is a great song. And The Trio really make it Greater. Love it !!1
Awesome! I can't wait to see John Butler again. Hopefully with Little Hurricane
:)
Brilliant! I've always loved John's music
That bass is so smooth and beautiful
Great cover, John Butler and friends are amazing, such talent, feel lucky that we can listen !😎
OMG!! This is F*ckin SICK!!! How am I just hearing this now?!? Love you JBT xx 💖💖💖
No one else sounds this good live love johnny b
YESSSSS, tu es de plus en plus grand!!!! NAMASTE!!!!!MERCI!!!!!THANCK YOU!!!!!!!!
This better than the original which doesn't happen very often, what a talent
I love his version,,, listen it a lot,,, 💗💞💕
Amazing!!!! My God i love this band!!!!
Their rhythm is so tight!
Amazing guitarist!!! He's the man.
John, hey I am the guy who jumped on stage and did the robot in Grand Rapids! You are awesome
I’m just happy they covered it 😀
oh my gosh, i didn't expect this and am so pleasantly surprised.
It's so strange to hear John's accent having changed more Aussie as the years have rolled on.
It happens to a lot of people. :)

But I have a friend from England who has been living in Aus for about 10 years, and still sounds from England but you can hear the twang in his voice.
True that. I can hear that.
Bound to happen given he moved to Australia when he was 11
His father is australian, he was determined to always have that Australian/American blended accent, i feel the australian comes out more in his singing voice, while his talking voice is more american based.
Awesome!! I heard this version in the local Target and have been searching for it for two days. I'm an instant fan!
love love love John Butler Trio
Possibly my favourite cover of this song so far :)
NO. 1
I love this!!!
AM ROCK N ROLL AND I LOVE THIS VERSION BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL . DAMN .
unlike the original Pharrell version... This one actually makes me happy
That is SO cool. I respect Pharrell Williams' work going way back to N.E.R.D.... and although I don't listen to his music very often, I like this song, as repetitive as it may be.

Deeply Happy! Love this version !!
So good ! Great job John Butler Trio!
One of the best artists out there, JBT are fantastic.
