Decemberists Concert
so the concert was pretty great. got there an hour early, waited outside in the cold rain, but it was worth it since when we got inside we went right to the stage and got front row aka right up against the stage. soooooooooo that was nice. great concert...put on a great show. during chimbley sweep, all the members switched instruments. they switched back to their normal instruments and then everybody but colin laid down and then colin motioned for the crowd to all sit down....so the 1500 or so people there all sat down. "shhh....they're sleeping," colin said and then began to go back into the song with just him and petra....then when the rest of the band "woke up" and started plaing again the whole crowd did too. closed the encore with mariner's revenge song and had everybody scream and yell as if they were being eaten by a whale during the right time. chris funk attempted a stage dive and failed.
only complaints about the show are...
1) it was not very long...at all. about 1 hr 45 min. BUT...they made up for the short length by their showmanship.
2) the way they played the songs....except for chimbley sweep, the songs were pretty much how they were on the album. when i see a band play live...i usually like to see them mix up the sogns a bit and not play them EXACTLY like they were on the album. BUT...still a great show. i'd definately see them again, just not on the same tour.
