Thanks, Chris! That’s a pretty killer cut, too. The way each different version kills just seems like even more evidence of the song’s perfection.

I think they played “Tightrope” at most of the shows of theirs I saw last year (saw ‘em four times…), but I’d have to go through my old notebooks to be sure.

Here’s another version you might enjoy–taken from a studio session they did with a local radio station here in Minneapolis.

I don’t recall them playing Tightrope either of the times I’ve seen them, but a few friends tell me that it’s been in rotation for upwards of a year :-S

I love the song, my favorite on the Dark Was The Night comp for sure!
