fantastic version of an amazing tune...a shame there isn't more video from this show... this NYT review names the players as "Jennifer Condos on bass, Jamie Muhabarek on keyboards, Curt Bisquera on drums and Gregg Arreguin on atmospheric guitar"...
Saw this band at The 8x10 in Baltimore. I knew it was a great show at the time, but it's stayed with me for years as very few others I can think of. Jamie Haddad on keyboards was amazing. I remember Joe saying, during the show, "It's always been my goal to have a band in which I was the worst musician and I've finally done it." That's setting the bar pretty high.
Such great talent almost always goes completely ignored by the polluted musical mainstream public. You can't force feed a musically handicapped public music of this quality...they prefer to eat the musical equivlent of unhealthy fast food! So sad indeed!!!
@angiepebbles1 he really strikes me as that kind of an artist. I've always loved his music, I accidentally got to see him in Atlanta, I had no idea he was opening for David Byrne. What a great surprise. I had the pleasure of meeting Grant Lee Phillips much the same way you described your meeting with Joe. Also a very humble artist!
im a mainstream listener and i like dubstep and metal, but i freakin love this song. i can play it on guitar, and i dont like the prejudice that people like me dont like acoustic stuff. stereotype guys... think about it...
@HannahAndNicoleTV Tell him there's a disabled guy his age in Lawrence, KS that has bought his records since first hearing "Murder of Crows", that believes that He, along with Tom Waits and Elvis Costello are our greatest living popular songwriters....and mostly...could he please do a show in KC or Lawrence? I don't want to die without experiencing his songs live...You have much to be proud of. A humble man, who easily could have used his sister in law's name to go real big.
@angiepebbles1 Luckyyyyyy...Ive so hoped for him to come to KC or Lawrence for a long time...Im disabled, so I can't get to Chicago and such quite so easily. I figured he was very real, and your wonderful story doesn't surprise me a bit. He is well more than suitable for everyone, but truth be told, as long as he is making enough money...I kinda like having these gems as little secrets you can share, when u know a person will truly get it, but I live for subtlety and obscurity.
@plrumme I know on bass it is Jennifer Condos( Ray Lamontagne, Aimme Mann among others she worked with). Seated guitarist I believe name was Greg? and is deceased a few years ago. All I know.
I believe that drummer is Kirk Biquera - and he's bad to the bone! Kinda looks like Jennifer Condos on bass too, no matter - this band is no slouch. Great clip.
Fuse, Scar and Trampoline were masterpieces. Joe is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for posting this live version.
Best lyrics ever ever.
This one always sends me out into the ether; so fine.

Joe Henry is one bad sum buck
Could someone post who the other musicians in the band are? It's always nice to be able to see what the others are up to. Would be obliged.

Oops, last comment was meant as a reply to painxtreme's question.

the drummer looks like kim jong un
maybe she's his sister-in-law, Madonna.
rob068 yes
I had a better idea, and I proposed it.
Now you all have to deal with my improvisation.
ladies and gentlemen kim jung un on the drums
