This remix clearly has a case of too many ideas fighting for space within a limited amount of time. The start of the track introduces the familiar Delta melody, as played on piano. While nothing spectacular, this is pleasant and fairly engaging, but things start to go awry around the halfway point. A few cymbal clashes introduce a clapping crowd that sounds fake and out of place. Twenty seconds later and the sedate, clapping crowd begins cheering wildly as the entire remix is wrenched uncomfortably into pseudo-techno mode, complete with cliché drum patterns and dance sounds.

It's difficult to succeed when creating a remix that tries to marry two such diverse styles. This remix ends up feeling half-finished, and sits neither in one place nor the other. As a curiosity, it also lacks the ingenius oddness of a Dead Guys remix, and, as such, I'd have much preferred to have heard an extended version of the first minute… without the clapping.

Concert? Hmm… I like the first half of the tune, the second is quite a mistake or shall I say junk? Mixing different styles is a hard task and this time it went to out of direction. And yes, once again there is an empty mp3-tag 😒

A -fake- concert version, shall I add. The piano also sounds fake (i. e. sampled), but it is played nicely, it has a Yanni-esque melancholic feeling to it. Unfortunately, the last minute of this remix leaves me completely confused. It suddenly switches from the piano to a rather poor electronic version with a cheering crowd providing the supposed concert feel - and then it ends just as abruptly. Puzzling, to say the least. It would've been a nice piano piece, but that horrible ending destroys it all.
