Comments:
Easily the most "rocking" Decemberists show I've ever seen or heard. Colin says early in the show that Chris Funk (the band's guitarist) made up the setlist for the show. They played The Crane Wife part 1 only, which was interesting (and better than linking it with part 2). We got to hear the live debut of a b-side from The Crane Wife, a song that is MUCH better live than the studio version: The Perfect Crime #1. Also, an encore of The Tain was a nice surprise (though I would have liked one more album song to close the show). The in-crowd entertainment was a re-enactment of the battle of Gettysburg instead of the Charge of the Light Brigade (especially nice to hear the guy behind me cheer loudly when Colin says the Confederates had won the battle). A fan got up on stage during O Valencia to sing backup and play a percussive noise maker. After the show I got to shake hands with John, the drummer, and say hi to Jenny, the keyboard/accordion player, as I walked through the building towards my car. It was a great show.
Now, the sound in a college gym is terrible. The mix was also a bit light on Colin's vocals in my opinion. For some reason I ended up with a lot of static in the left channel, so a bunch of songs have the right channel doubled to avoid the digi-noise from the left mic. There is more crowd than I'd like in the recording too, but that's what you're going to get when people talk and shout requests through the whole show. Overall, with the volume boost I think it's a very solid recording for the given conditions. Please share freely and only in lossless formats.

Important news from bt.etree.org!

Begining on March 17 2006, all torrents seeded at bt.etree must
include 1) checksum files (.md5, .ffp) that include a checksum for
every lossless audio file in the fileset, and 2) a copy of those
checksums pasted into the torrent description, so everyone can see
them without downloading the fileset.

If you seed a torrent without this information, it will be deleted.
We're telling you this now, so you'll know.

Of course, if there is a problem, we'll try to contact you and help
to fix it. If you don't have a valid e-mail address on your
db.etree.org account, please take a moment to add one. If we can't
contact you, we can't help you, and it be very frustrating for
everyone. Seeders who don't have valid e-mail addresses may find
their logins disabled.

This message will appear on all torrents seeded to bt.etree until
everyone has gotten the message. If your torrent has checksum files
and lists them in the description, thank you! If not, please take a
moment to edit the torrent description to include them. If you have
to add the checksum files from scratch, you'll have to pull this
torrent and start over. Sorry about that.

For help generating checksums, please visit
http://wiki.etree.org or
http://forums.etree.org/viewtopic.php?t=7025. If you have specific
questions, please post them at http://forums.etree.org and someone
will help you ASAP. Please do NOT e-mail us directly.

Thanks, and happy downloading.

Thanks, great show last night. Glad to see the recording up here.

Missed this show last night, but I heard from a friend that it was incredible. Thanks for posting this so quickly.

I know these guys are generally open-taping but, how was it? did they inform the venue? Any hassle? I know some folks who hope to tape at a few of the upcoming shows so... inquiring minds and all that...
rowjimmy 2007-04-02 07:56:30
Oh, and thanks for sharing this!

The venue for this had college kids for security...

No one bothered me. I would say that if you want to tape, I think you can stealth pretty easily. I'm afraid the taping policy may not be as open as it used to be because they're on a major label now, but I don't know any more specific information. I know the Philly and NJ shows were taped and they were at "normal" venues, so I think you'll be ok taping...

Someone tell me they are taping Madison. I am going but don't have the equipment and know-how.

I know the Decemberists are also a band that does that Instant Live (or whatever it's called) thing where at some shows you can buy the recording right after it ends.
