If there is one thing predictable about Joseph Arthur, it is that he is completely unpredictable. Musically, at least, he may be the most mercurial person I've ever encountered.
what are you talking about man... he has performed this song probably 1000 times and he has done a really cool and different remake here! it sounds great. I do agree about the band tho, I might prefer a solo JA... his band makes his music... even stranger than normal lol. JA rocks!
I like how you all hate this version of the song, it has so much more edge and energy than the studio version in my opinion!! But he nails it everytime on Letterman, Travel As Equals is also way better in the Letterman live version!!
the chick on bass is very shimmy and slinky without playing very much. still a very sincere performance though.. if you want something to cry about you should go to a kings of leon show - teeny bopper heaven, so depressing
