Michael is awesome. Love his wife too. I'd love to see him live but I live in the sticks. I own all of his stuff and ths is one of my favorites. Thanks for posting this!
Oh, definitely! A buddy of mine turned me on to Michael Penn when he was coming to town (I guess he doesn't tour that often?), and outside of a mix CD, this was my first exposure to him. I was totally hooked. I wonder, though, if he has a whole closet full of white shirts and black vests?
I particularly enjoyed the little open mic bit he did between songs. Risky, but funny.
Wanna know the most embarrassing thing? I showed up at the Philly concert wearing...a white shirt and black vest. Total coincidence, believe me (I am generally a big fan of the vest as a fashion statement)although at the time I was paranoid it would look like some kind of weird fan thing. (Not that I'm completely above weird fan things, of course ;-)
Anyway, glad to hear you got turned on to Mr. Penn. Seeing him live was what turned me into a huge fan too.
TeaOrTango, you have posted two of my fav M Penn songs, I'm jealous that you saw him live! He performs so infrequently and never comes close to where I live. :(
I'll bet it was great show! I think he's fantastic!
What kind of guitar anyone?

TeaOrTango ... where was this filmed? I was at a show in April in Chicago -- I'd be all kinds of pleased to find out this is from the same show!

Sorry, not Chicago -- Philadelphia. Hope you are still at least one kind of pleased to see it.
