glad to hear it was a solid show. i couldn't go last night and gave up my tickets. though i do think they would have been suited for the black cat again in terms of crowd size. not much fun playing to a half full 930 club.
Decemberists Roll Call
what was most interesting to me was watching how overwhelmed Colin was by the side of the room– his eyes sort of bulged every time he looked up at the balcony. Sure, they rolled the stage forward to make the effect, but the place was pleasantly populated. It is interesting to trace them from Black Cat backstage to Black Cat mainstage to 9:30. Who knows, maybe next is the arena tour? (just kidding)
Every time I hear the Tain I think of Quix*o*tic. (What the hell happened to them, anyway?)
The crowd was young and didn't seem to know either "July, July" or "Ask". (How can a music fan not know such basics as "Ask," I ask?) Lots of cheering for what I would consider their worst material off the new album. Also, lots of folks amused at the bass-drum-in-the-crowd trick, which we've seen at their shows before.
By the way– I hope it was that Colin didn't want to change a string on stage rather than that he didn't know how to. That's pretty sad.

The Long Winters & The Decemberists Sets
Unfortunetely, I know zero of those songs.
Well considering that the oldest records were released around 1994 it's not hard to believe. But, I'd get cracking because there will be quiz on Friday.
i assume the Decemberists came with their own pre-show music– those were the same clips that i remember hearing from the Black Cat show this spring.
oh, wait. that was almost the same set list too.
I was ripped off!

i don't think they played leslie ann levine or Grace Cathedral Hill last night, did they even play Here I Dreamt I was an architect, and they played 2 new songs and 2 covers
they also played Apology song last night which I don't think was played last time
The one song they have not played at any of the shows, and I wish they would, is The Legionnaire's Lament
