Vic Chesnutt w/Elf Power

[Duke Silver]

My favorites are the ones where the artists try to do something different. The DBT one is pretty good, but basically identical to the studio versions.

Roadside Graves

I think that was the debut of "Liv Tyler," and the acoustic version of Far and Wide puts a different spin on it.

Constantines

Love this version of I Will Not Sing A Hateful Song.

Check out the P. Hood & Screwtopians set - Belvedere fucking smokes and Back of a Bible is radically different from the album version. (More soulful/piano based)

AA Bondy
Centro-matic
Will Johnson
Avett Brothers

I was disappointed in the DBT set, especially Shonna's song, which is completely out of tune

So many, but this one from Theodore hit me the hardest:

http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/theodore-concert/20032259-3738169.html

Even though they're somewhat local (St. Louis, a couple of hours east), I'd never heard of them until they turned up on Daytrotter. I gave 'em a listen and immediately searched out their LP Hold You Like a Lover. It became a favorite from last year.
I implore all of you to go to their link and listen to the song "All I Ask."
Awesome stuff.

That'd be #4 on my list. Great stuff and if I ever get an extra dollar wanna go see them. They played a few shows at the Schlafly Brewery Tap Room.

I keep trying to make this word be Daytripper or Globetrotter. Never heard of this site, but I am going to check it out. Thanks 3DD people for continually broadening my horizons.

I've never listened to a single Daytrotter session, I'm just popping in here purely on the strength of seeing someone else besides myself mention Frontier Ruckus. I saw them last year with Samantha Crain (who is also on Ramseur Records) and loved them.
