I've seen them live - years ago - and they played one of the best versions of Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" that I've ever heard. As usual Warren made a very long announcement, and then he did not say the song title, instead he spoke the lyrics and then was gliding into the song. Fantastic!
FYI:....YOu know....this is actually a cover of a Greek song performed by Arleta and composed by Giannis Spanos back in 60's.The lyrics were written by Giannis Papastefanou and it is an old time classic in Greece.....
This song takes me to so many places. Emotion conveyed so eloquently. This type of music cannot be manufactured in a TV show or in an executive's office.

An explosive cocktail of emotion and adrenalin beautifully mixed under Sarah King's direction - I'll have another one of those please!

Is this the song that was slowed down and performed with Nick Cave as Time Jesum Transeuntum et Non Riverentum? Sounds kind of the same...?

Although... when I first heard of Dirty Three, they were the house band for a TV variety / comedy show.

The juxtaposition of calm guitarist and drummer against the frenetic dancing of everyone else is interesting.
