It's extraordinary when you see live performances that are better than studio versions. I wish he'd make a whole album with nothing but him, a guitar, and a microphone. His regular stuff's awesome, but this is just pure.

his face is so interesting. i love listening to his music, but seeing him makes it somehow even better. its like i can see the music on his face, not notes and melodies and lyrics, but the emotion and heart, the center of his music. and hes got the sweetest most gentle smile.

These are the best versions of his songs that I have heard. Seems like the vibe at NPR is so good, every band that plays there gives the best performance they ever had. Awesome musician.

the last two verses are glorious. "This old dark machine, shakes then it shudders Pulls to the left, dies near the gutter But still in the road, and traffic it's silent The people they stare, then they turn violent If they should touch, the hem of your dress I would rise like a lion, strike out again faithful they wait, faithful they wait for a sign Near the town where we were living Came a loud and joyous sound As the earth and all her beauty Picked us up from off the ground Carried far across the mountains To a kingdom never bound We will live like this forever I will love you I will love you"

@meatcreap5 жыл бұрын
I keep coming back to this performance. It's stunning. The first couple times I heard it, the background noises felt distracting. After repeat listens, though, they carry in some sort of ominous mood that ends up defining the songs for me. Every time I see him ask if he can play one more I get so nervous. If he didn't play Red Dust in the way that he did here, I would be a different person. Things emerge from the pool of chance that would never come if they were planned.
