what is the deal with this guitarist? he is ruining the song.

[Changles]

If I were a drummer trying to figure out this song I would probably deem this video "useful". So, y'know, there's the upside to the levels problem. Every cloud, right?

I was in the front row when she came to Birmingham and the amount of emotion she put into this song was quite incredible. If she ever played any of her very early songs like Flying a Kite or The Fray in concert, I don't think I'd ever be able to recover. She is the real thing.

i wonder how good she is at playing the guitar? shed have mad picking skills

[rlambert18]

did you manage to get a tripod into the show?

[estebaneeezy]

Quite possibly the most beautiful woman in the entire world.

Man that was the hardest earned encore of all time, but so worth it. I can't believed they tried to shut her down, but then she came back on what a hero. I'm actually so in love with Joanna Newsom.

[haydenluck]

me too...lol

FANTASTIC copy

[jessegrn]

much love

Well done! Excellent camera job. You really captured her brilliant harp plucking in the last couple of minutes. Hope they get Ryan guitar levels right at future performances.

Other instruments, WAY to loud, Jesus. I know that's part of the mood/effect of the song - but, ugh. You can't even hear her vocals when they come in.

Part of that is definitely my position at the front of the stage. I was right next to the drums which caused the levels to be way too loud at parts. If I'd taped back by the soundboard, it probably would have been fine. The drummer actually apologized to me for the volume as he was leaving.

@indyjb i had the same problem at the boston show a few days later...and i was all the way in the back. he was still super loud during this song in particular, and at other moments. put a damper on it! but still amazing regardless...definitely my favorite song on the new record. great quality man

[JessicaClark]

Thank you so much for the awesome recording.

[JessicaClark]

Wow! How nice of him. Thanks for the info. :)

Why would someone give me a thumbs down for my opinion on the volume?? Wasn't meant to be negative to Joanna in any way.

[bellsforme]

Beautifully captured!

Seriously, I might even un-upload my poor-quality videos.

Btw, this was one of my favorite moments :)

[partlyclouded]
