My three videos from the Kasey and Shane gig are on YouTube. Not exactly Imax quality but the sound is OK for a dinky point-and-shoot. Note Kasey charmingly snarking on the chatters before the beautiful "One More Day." The encore was "Hallelujah." Now, Various Positions is one of my desert island discs and the John Cale tribute album version is rather genius but apart from that I'm quite over hearing covers of it. The Buckey version misses the emotion of the song despite consisting of nothing but Emotion. Plus, he left out the best verse. This is a fascinating analysis of the how such an odd song became the go-to track for melancholy TV dramedy montage. But still, K&S do a good job.

My personal favorite rendition of the tune: John Cale from "Fragments of a Rainy Season."
