"Cath..." in its Greatest Form

This is, in my opinion, absolutely, positively, without a doubt the best version of this song that I've heard. I have a recording of Ben Gibbard singing it alone during his solo tour last year, accompanied by nothing but the acoustic guitar he's playing. I've heard it played live while standing in the audience. I have the album (of course). I stumbled upon this performance of "Cath...," which is part of an interview Chris and Ben did while in England, while weeding through YouTube videos. This version is astounding because:
1.) The two guitars play perfectly off of one another. The give and take is so well-balanced. I know that has to do with the arrangement of the music, but I also think Ben and Chris just play so well together and that they've been doing it so well for so long that they make it look and sound easy now.
2.) The absolutely driving rhythm established by the two acoustic guitars is just outstanding. At times, I have to stop and REALLY listen, thinking "That can't possibly be just those guitars...." but it is. Watch Ben Gibbard's strumming hand. You can notice him knocking those beats dead on. Chris Walla contributes to it as well. Again, just watching the give and take between the two guitar parts is awesome.
3.) This is a really stripped version of "Cath..." You can hear with great clarity the beautiful melodic guitar lines that so frequently get hidden or down-played by other things in the album version. You can also watch Chris Walla's mad picking skills. It's SO FUN to observe these guys playing and interacting with one another. You can just FEEL the connection.
4.) As I stated in my previous post, I think Ben Gibbard's voice was made to accompany an acoustic guitar. His vocals stand out in this recording in a way that they really CAN'T in the album version.

I wish I could hire these guys to sit and play acoustic guitar and sing and talk to me all day long. I'd be in heaven.
