"Our memories are like a river cut off from the ocean. With time they will slowly dry out in the sun, and so we drink and drink and drink and we can never have our fill." The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears by Dinaw Mengestu.
A Long December

A summery and feathered version of the winter hit from Recovering the Satellites.

The Cracker hit performed by front man David Lowery and backed by The Crows. Very cool.
Just Like A Woman

Grand Prairie, Texas
The Dylan classic as sung by Dan Layus and Adam Duritz backed by their bands. Excellent and beautiful.
Perfect Blue Buildings
April 15, 1994
Luxor, Germany
A raw and early version of the most emotional (my opinion) song from August and Everything After.
Rain King
November 14, 2007
New York City @ The Grammercy
Most unique version of Rain King ever with vocals by Dan Layus (Augustana), Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional), John Ralston and Adam Duritz. Piano and guitar backing are most likely other memembers of Dashboard Confessional. I usually don't like background singing and talking during the performance but this time it only added to the magic of the performance. And yes Adam is the best.
