best encore:iron & wine on late night with jimmy fallon. i was pleasantly surprised with entrance confirmation to the band stand seats for sam's set. sorry i still haven't mastered clear pics of tickets. anyhoot, it was a treat to see sam again on the day of the release of around the well.
he sang a new tune "godless brother in love". it was quite appropriate to have his sister, sarah, singing back-up. i was front and kinda center on the band stand directly behind sam. look for the bespectacled lady in a red top over sam's right shoulder. saki, i'm wearing your top. it's like you were there. mollie was really there standing to my right.
belated realization: iron and wine played sun god. holy heck. my alma mater got sam to play sun god. dude, they didn't have cool bands when i attended. this year they not only had sam gracing the fine stage on rimac field, but they freakin' got n.e.r.d. and girl talk too.
missed cover: iron and wine covering new order's "love vigilantes". i guess that's why it took them a while to get us in the studio.
best trl set: iron and wine at arbrons art center. sam was in good spirits as he hit the stage solo with just his acoustic guitar. just him and the crowd. he just came from red rocks opening for flight of the conchords. our concert was extra special because fans got to vote for the set. lucky concert goers got commemorative tickets (sorry pic to the right is blurry). the graphic design on it reminds me a lot of frank lloyd wright.
i snoozed on the voting and recalled too late to cast my vote. sam, however, played my favs "passing afternoon" and "each coming night". he did not play jac's fav "flightless bird, american mouth".
set list of what i could recollect:each coming night jezebel song he never played before live bird stealing breadradio war some song he did with isaac brock (modest mouse) for his side project, ugly casanovapassing afternoon resurrection fernfever dream sunset soon forgotten communion cups and someone's coat sodum, south georgia trapeze swinger
*encore* such great heights some song this dude literally raised his hand for half the show to request
does anyone have the whole set list? also, those attending tonight's show i would be interested in seeing your's. sam said they would not be the same, but more songs that he knew. i guess i can wait for it to be posted here too, but would love to hear from others in attendance last night and tonight. :)
abron's was the perfect setting for the intimate concert complete with cushy seats. sam was uber chill and a bit burned by the 2 weeks of touring. i didn't mind. i liked his slip ups, tuning and wonky cable problems. he seems to just go about it without too much fuss. love me some sam beam. he provides the perfect lullaby before bed.
best encore: iron & wine on late night with jimmy fallon. i was pleasantly surprised with entrance confirmation to the band stand seats for sam's set. sorry i still haven't mastered clear pics of tickets. anyhoot, it was a treat to see sam again on the day of the release of around the well.
