Alana - Live
I mentioned Alana in a previous post, but I thought it might be good to start a new thread on this. It's one of my favorites from Dream Dictionary. I haven't seen a version of this live on youtube until today. Finally! Here it is:
It's a good version. There's a lot of Jim playing around the beat; more so than the studio version. It sounds much more like a work in progress, but very alive, very beautiful. I don't know his backing musicians that well. It's not Josh on drums. The bass is electric, not upright. There isn't a performance date in the description.
The poster on youtube (John Leon) has the rest of the show (not in a playlist) and it's a good one (although they all seem to be good shows!). He also has a ton of Marc Ribot if anyone's interested.
Anyone know of any other good live versions of this song? I'd like to hear more of its progression up to the studio version.

I believe the drummer in the video is Tony Mason. I assume this must be around 2012.
And I found someone that did a nice cover of it:
