While I didn’t exactly anticipate that I would post first about the Decemberists show at the Phoenix this past October, that is what I happened to have ready so here it is.A few things to note. First, I don’t have any server space at this time so they are all posted on Rapidshare, so you can’t just right click on them and save: you have to follow the links. Sorry about that. If anyone out there wants to host any or all of these files, knock yourself out (I would appreciate you leaving a comment). Second, they were recorded in analog so that means there is some tape hiss. I couldn’t get rid of it but by and large I think the sound is pretty good. Third, I posted each song individually with the exception of the two solos that Colin performed – “Tristan and Isolde” and “I Don’t Mind” (with thanks to the posters on the Decemberists Message board for help with the songtitles) – and the banter between songs. For the full and complete experience, including talk and what I did get of the two solos, you can download the complete thing in a zipfile. Lastly, I missed the very, very end of the show – literally the last three seconds of “The Chimbley Sweep” where after we all sat on the ground very quietly we jumped up, sang the chorus one more time and the crowd went mental. You’ll have to use your imagination. That’s it. I hope you enjoy it. Leave me a comment if you have any problems, suggestions, etc.
