with many thanks to my friend Whitney for hooking me up, i had the pleasure, once again, this past Monday to watch and listen as Explosions in the Sky performed much of their new album along with a few older favorites (1st Breath After Coma, Memorial, Greet Death, Your Hand in Mine). what a show! the performance, mix, energy: the whole thing was great. that's really all i can say.
here are the "good" pictures i ended up with from the show.
and here is a clip of Memorial from the show. the microphone on my camera wasn't quite up to the task, unfortunately.
oh! and three cheers for all the great shows in the area lately! The Shins, Ken Andrews, Mur; EITS, TV on the Radio, Ted Leo, and Guster this week; Amon Tobin and Ben Gibbard next month (not together, two separate shows ;-). that's something to sing about. it's the most wonderful time of the year, again!
