Seeing this show In Atlanta was indeed an evening of total magic. It was my birthday present to myself. I flew down and stayed in the same hotel as Tom right across the street from the Fox. Pure genius.

I was there too... it was amazing... wonder if he will ever come around again... he's like a comet aint he????

I downloaded the podcast of this show and have been listening to it on constant loop ever since. Amazing!

[perrysmeaton]

where did you get a podcast of this concert?

[vonkruize]

It's the NPR All Songs Considered Podcast.

[irrvine]

That show was the greatest night of my life!!

[wildanimalboy]

NPR (All Songs Considered) released this entire show as a podcast! Great recording, I wish I could've been there...

Go get it!

Thanks so much for putting this up! I was at this show and wish I had broken the rules and snuck a camera in anyway.

[SCLOGSE]

Always very hard to set digital camera to get the right exposure...My digimax lets me go into program and set up to two stops under, then I go back to movie mode and the settings work there too. NIce and steady here, though! Nice sound too.

[opalzone]

Very nice! We didn't get this song in Houston (but it was still an awesome show.) I love how he can so readily create any mood he wants--he's a true showman.

Thanks for putting this up. We traveled to Atlanta from Bloomington, IN. It was everything we hoped it would be. Certainly the most I ever applauded at a concert.

Highlights: Let It Rain, 9th & Hennepin, Eyeball Kid, Chocolate Jesus, and Til the Money Runs Out. Also, great crowd! It was like everyone knew, "let's not screw this up!"

[Seanmoc01]

We freaked in Knoxville when he played this. Such a great song.

[evanathsma]

He played the coolest version of Cemetery Polka ever. I wish I had this whole show on tape so badly. I've never heard him with a better or tighter band. The yoyo thing was great too. Thanks for the video man. It was goddamn magical.

Thanks for posting this! It was an awesome show. I was in the balcony's front row, so it's fun to see it from the lower angle.

[roky]

Last night was the best gig ever!

[sindex]

excellent.. that was a great show.

[pzwhite]

Dude, I was there yesterday! Thank you so much!

[GrimmyFang]

[Seanthomson8888]
