This Josh recording of GSB is one of the most brilliant live performances
ever recorded, in my opinion. You could write a doctoral dissertation
analyzing every aspect of this performance.
I also thought that the version that Michael Witcher played as the encore at
the closing event of ResoSummit (the Missy Raines & the New Hip performance
at the Station Inn on Sunday) was brilliant. Hilarious and deadly serious
all at once. It worked as both high camp and a highly respectful tribute.
Worthy of a master's thesis analysis, I'd say.
You should be able to hear the Josh / live at the Ryman version on
Rhapsody.
