Bigmo! To play this right.... you gotta dress up like the real thing first... (see photo below) that's me and a good guitar friend in '85 dressed for the song. Sounds better like that! :-) Image

Notice that my friend is actually playing the guitar... I'm just holding it!!
No wonder you are such a great singer. You're a professional!

Hey Never... that video is starting to sound more like my version... hehe... but I love the original non the less.

It's a good thing I'm creative! Every time I play The Boxer' on my guitar I actually hear the original version (in my minds ears lol) - I'm blinded by delight - until I wake up and listen to my untimely, timed finger pickin'

PS - I bet this song does sounds great with two or 3 guitars

This is a great song. Slightly off topic I was wondering if anyone knows what percussive instrument played on the studio recording makes a sound that I can only describe as a duck playing a kazoo in an accordion.
If anyone knows I would love to find out.
To me it sounds like a jaw harp but I read on wikipedia that the track includes a bass harmonica, which I guess makes sense. Haha sorry its not quite as sophisticated as the duck explanation...
