Oh man, the cello player is so gorgeous! Like Jennifer Connely.

This song is sooooo awesome live. Was not expecting this type of emotion when I saw them play it on Sunday @Lollapalooza

[dael089]

anyone knows whats the song playing at the beginning?

[RobynEdgar]

@dael089 the song playing at the beginning is Abel :)

[ShelleyKimCHI]

Did they cut out  Abel?

[bebellis225]

@ShelleyKimCHI

They sure did. Why are there empty seats?

[ShelleyKimCHI]

@bebellis225

Abel is a must-see for live National concerts... and good question. And empty seats? Good question. What I'd give up to see this concert... even though I'm way on the other coast.

@ShelleyKimCHI

Saw them 2007 in a tiny venue in my home town. Last two songs were Abel and Mr November, was incredible! Although this seems like a cool concert, it is a little restrained and formal for my tastes. Half the crowd sitting down? No thanks.

[ShelleyKimCHI]

@bebellis225 I went to probably one of the nicest venues, if not the nicest venue in LA. There's an upper mezzanine but I don't know, I feel like sitting down for a rock band is rude haha. i would love to see them again. I was standing floor RIGHT next to Bryce Dessner

@ShelleyKimCHI

Yeah, sitting down is a definite no no unless you're watching an orchestra or something! During the support the twins were in the crowd, and boy did they stink! Excessive touring and no money is not a good combo for personal hygiene it seems. As awesome as they sound in this show, I'm not sure I'd want to see them again any time soon as it wouldn't compare to that first time. In my head at least anyway..

Bryan Devendorf is an awesome drummer. Tight timing....

[vileddisorder101]

That was freakin' amazing. I want to buy this whole live concert.....NOW!
