Here is the idea :
to share each month a great version of a live song for new fans or older ones. Just to remember or to discover all the treasures of Joseph songography, and to create kind of a perfect setlist.

For the first song, I thought about 'Permission' played in Bern on 2002. The last gig on this very long 2002 european tour. One of the best recordings to have, in my opinion.

Thanks ! I suggest Toxic angel (2003-04-04 - Colony Café, Woodstock) one of the best version !

Thanks Prior.
I keep your suggestion for October.
On September that's Honey and the Moon thas has been chosen.
A crazy 17 minutes long version from London 2002 (the first gig thas has been recorded and sold afterwards). I loved these old versions of the song with the final jam "they died for you". The actual acoustic versions are pretty for sure but a little too wise, in my opinion.

October is a great month, i love october !
The end of this H&TM version breaks my brain...

TOXIC ANGEL from Woodstock 2003 is the Song of the Month.
Good choice Prior !

It's a real pleasure ! Thank you Xavier !

thanks for all these songs !

Maybe I could ask for the best version of 'speed of light' ?

Live Song of December is HAD TO GO, beautiful 'lost song' played just a few times in 2004 with Joan Wasser on violin

P'tit-mat, SPEED OF LIGHT will be the live song of January. I could'nt make up my mind among all the available live versions of the song , so I need one month more to choose.
If anyone has any suggestions about the best live version of Speed of Light, please tell me !

Great choice, Xavier

Charlie

thanks very much !

I was blown away by the version I heard in Belfort (France), back in 2002. Version that is not available (cut on the soundboard CD).
From that I heard one from a compilation (http://invisible.hands.free.fr/live6.htm), that was completly different from what I was used to listen to.

I heard about a ten-minute version that was the perfect one. But I could not find out more than this.

So I'm curious about the one you are going to choose !

I especially like the space electric version from liverpool (27.05.05), ptit-mat you must listen to it !

I've already this one, and yes, I should listen to it again (by the way it's from July, not May, if I'm correct)

You're correct, sorry for the mistake !
