Joseph Arthur "Slide Away"

[BilisNegra]

A touch of Neil Young in this one, anyone agreeing??

[reallifenamesake]

One of my favorite songs from 'Nuclear Daydream.'

[loi2121]

The best song ever. I have listened to this song on my zune over, and over again from the live show in Portland Oregon. This version and the CD Universe version are the best. Ive listened to every single version there is out there and the live cd from DOUG FIR LOUNGE PORTLAND, OR 10/13/06 is the one you want to buy.

joseph arthur seems like the type of guy i could hang out with. he seems down to earth, and though he knows the suffering blues of the world (visiting uganda) he still emits some dreamy euphoria of higher things that are brighter and less heavy than things that keep us from sleep.

This is a really good performance and a much better rendition than what is on the album. In my top 10 performances.

[RussMeg8]

amazing colorful lyrics rock on every song ooooh soooo good

[polarice264]

Why is he wearing those colors??

He sounds soooo much different then on the CD, which i have on my ipod.

[musicjunkie207]

lmao when I met them sybl was dressed as a man, joseph was a vampire, g wiz was a zombie and jen was a "ultra hippie". Good times......

[TWO7]

That was Halloween in Akron? Amazing show!

[musicjunkie207]

yeah it was Halloween!! That show was the single best live performance I've ever seen. And I've seen ALOT of bands. Incredible time.....

[StringDad]

Love this ...this version of it especially ...love the slightly more muscular but still relaxed groove... compared to the studio version...love the end...the longing in the Slide Away/I want you section....yeah. I wish I could download the thing without becoming a computer scientist to do it...

[xxrbe]

I remember I watched the show only for this. Pretty good performance.

[luckytwentyseven]

he's an old soul i bumped hands with up in Montana.

[luckytwentyseven]

wonderful. ace right on.

[robtoole]

Can't deny a good performance when I see one... I like it, and even if I didn't, a great performance.

[djstory23]

I did monitors for these guys in Denver the night before this was filmed... Best show I have ever mixed. These guys are really amazing and really nice.

[burnout2022]

u lucky thing you

[ncz82]

There is something sexy about a hippy chick bassist...

[oldphoque]

I would watch them just to see Jen. I love a guitar geek! She never seems to be seen with the same plank twice. This video was too much like the Wedding Singer. I think Joe even caterwals like a drunken stooge this performance much like the movie.

[giovannipresto]

AWESOME SONG!

[pastega]

outstanding, amplifies happy feelings 10x

[misterscamp]

What a goddamn performance...end of statement.

[Shutterbugwoman]

I loved this performance. Not only that, but it was the 1st time I'd ever laid eyes on Joseph Arthur 'live'. Wow, it reminded me of the 1st time I'd seen Prince, it was riveting, new & wonderful. Yeah, it was 'quirky' and I'm sure it seemed like an odd choice to some, to sing the song all the way through, in falsetto, but that's what made it so cool. Speaking of Prince,not too many singers can pull of the falsetto thing for an entire song like he can. But Joseph did it! & I dug it!

[prosoloist]

good points. But for anyone watching Letterman that night that never heard of him, it was terrible. Sad! I love the new album and Slide Away is great on there. When I saw them live it was much better than this Letterman mess. :)

[lyonsarmy]

...bands never seem to get their sound right on Letterman.

[mdhenshaw]

This is a great song, this is a tough song for Arthur to sing though. There are much better songs on Nuclear Daydream.

[prosoloist]

I agree,it is a good song on the album but there are better tunes that they could have done to show just how good they are live. This performance is so clean and polished that they look like just any band when in fact they are really special. Arthur is an amazing writer, singer, performer. But again, on this national TV show he's all clean shaven and every hair is in place. It's a little comical after having seen them live recently...

[prosoloist]

I'm sort of glad I didn't know there was a full band this time out. Also glad I didn't see this video in advance.

[lyonsarmy]

great!!!

[gavindarkster]

don't know whether i love or hate it...

[allensugar]

i like u. u like me?
