Not a fan of gigs in warehouses, but if a band is that popular, you have to make room for the masses! Not sure about the PA, but the visuals were fantastic. Yes, I may be a geek, but I love all things technical & visual. The round screens, though simple, made such a difference. As did the camera set ups and soft focus.

The energy of the band was astounding! With the 10 of them interchanging widely – making even the Decemberists look restricted! You could virtually smell the enthusiasm, the enjoyment, the energy such was its strength and purity. A great gig which brought home to me how fantastic Funeral really was as an album!

National & The Shins coming up, plus a bit of Rilo Kiley if we can get tickets! The Shins however, clash with Okkervil River and the mighty, yet age-d rockers Foreigner… decisions decisions!
