The Swell Season is freaking awesome

The show was utterly amazing!!! This is a video from last night's show...Glen goes on to say his guitar doesn't like the dry air and the air conditioning...

It was so fun to be there - even the waiting in line part was fun! (We got there at 5, doors opened at 7, opening act at 8, Swell Season at 9)

One of my fav parts is just watching Glen's facial expressions, and the facial expressions of the band in general when they look at each other for ques or to know what's going on :)

They played BEAUTIFULLY and it was friggin awesome...

Songs they played that I can remember (not necessarily in order):

• They opened with a song I didn't know, just Glen and Marketa
• then the whole band - Low Rising (Glen played a SWEET open body Gibson electric)
  
• Back Broke
• In These Arms
• Lies
• Falling Slowly
• What Happens When the Heart Just Stops
• Leave
  
• This Low
• I Have Loved You Wrong
• When You're Mind's Made Up
• If You Want Me
• Say It To Me Now - played unplugged - so freaking awesome!!!
• Gold!!! - I couldn't believe they played this! It was so beautiful!!!
• Into the Mystic (Van Morrison cover)
• Bruce Springsteen cover (forget the title)
• Fantasy Man
• Ended with an Irish folk song :) YEAH!!!

There might be more, but that's all that I can think of. The thing about the Swell Season is that Glen is just such a PASSIONATE performer - the man pours his heart, soul, and body into the music and it's just such an experience to be at their shows...especially when you're leaning on the stage or railing like I was both times I've seen them - heck yes :)
