Here's a quick blog post about my trip down for Friday's walking tour, sound check, and show. Would've been up sooner, but I had to head out early Saturday to help with the kids (ended up driving them another hour north for some early-season skiing), and needed most of Sunday to recover... Shout-out to Brendan who recognized me from my Twitter userpic and said hi. |

Great post/recap Chad! Thanks for ID’ing Lido Shuffle too Best of luck on the new book! Ryan (from San Diego) This will sound very strange, but my favourite single moment from the weekend was singing along to Lido with a very large portion of the crowd as the band walked onto the stage on Friday night. That moment was filled with so much fun and excitement and anticipation and energy. What a time. Thanks for this write up, OP. |

How was the brand new song they played? I haven't been able to find video of it anywhere, but I hope it means we'll be getting more studio material soon.
I was at Night 1 and Night 4 - both were fantastic shows. They really made an effort to mix up the sets, and it was great to see some cuts I'd never heard after many shows. Some of those Stay Positive deep cuts need to stay in the rotation, because they sounded great.

Some of those Stay Positive deep cuts need to stay in the rotation, because they sounded great. The new song was good, very much in line with the recent releases. Probably closer to "Esther" or "Entitlement Crew" than "Snake in the Shower" or "The Stove and the Toaster" in that it's not that dark or loud. It's a little hard to judge from the sound check, though. Craig commented on the new material at the Q&A, saying that they're really enjoying releasing music this way: "You don't have to book a studio for thirty days and get together fifteen tracks then send it off to the label to spend four months doing... whatever it is." I wouldn't count on these getting pulled together into an album, but I'd be surprised if we didn't get a couple of new tracks in the near future. Once they're done putting out live bootlegs, anyway... |

I was initially slightly disappointed not to get the Spanish "Yankee Rose," just because that's so weird, but "Lido Shuffle" is a brilliant choice for them. Also, "Banging Camp" was a great way to open. |

I wanna say they walked out to "So it Goes" in Philly this year too. They played the new tune Thurs night. I know it will be an unpopular opinion but it didn't overly grab me. I'm sure I'll warm to it after a few listens when it's released. |

I too spotted your Mountain Goats T. Nice touch. |

Oops my mistake I meant Saturday night. Yeah they might have done it in Philly over the summer, I was a little tuned up and can't remember though! |

Haha Craig noticed it too. From his weekend recap: "Friday night the weekend feeling was picking up, and you could tell by the way the crowd sang along to our walk on music: “Lido Shuffle”-the whoa whoas were cranking."
