I have never seen this version. Its pretty cool. I am started to really dig his music, even though most of his music is just a little bit before my time. At 3.0, what's the drummer beating on? A cardboard box or is there something else under there?

HEy Jeff - I know how much you like cool houses, have you ever seen the one Jackson's grandfather built near the Arroyo? I believe JB lived in it a few times as well.
His grandfather was a jack-of-all-trades, and was doing his own form of architectural salvage long before it was a thing. He was also a printer and I think ran his business from it.
His brother still lives in it:
And if you're getting into his music, I'd like to make two recommendations:
For Everyman is an excellent and timeless record. And the album cover was shot in the courtyard of the Abbey San Encino:
And a few years back, a bunch of great artists put together a JB tribute record, and it is truly
outstanding!
Take a look at the lineup:

"Running on Empty" – Bob Schneider
"Fountain of Sorrow" – Indigo Girls
"Doctor My Eyes" – Paul Thorn
"For Everyman" – Jimmy LaFave
"The Barricades of Heaven" – Griffin House
"Our Lady of the Well" – Lyle Lovett
"Jamaica Say You Will" – Ben Harper
"Before the Deluge" – Eliza Gilkyson
"For a Dancer" – Venice
"Looking Into You" – Kevin Welch
Disc Two
"Rock Me On the Water" – Keb' Mo'
"The Pretender" – Lucinda Williams
"Rosie" (Browne, Donald Miller) – Lyle Lovett
"Something Fine" – Karla Bonoff

"Linda Paloma" – Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa

And if you buy the physical (or even the digital version) there's a great pamphlet featuring the Abbey.
Hope you enjoy!
