No shit. Just found this clip. I was there. First time seeing M.Gira perform. On my Birthday, too. Good show. Just got to see SWANS at Middle East in Cambridge, MA September 30, 2010. Amazing show.
@N1ckSc0tt Tell me about it. I'm Living in London and was set to fly back to N.Z. where I was born. Now I'm staying three more months just to see them.
Can't usually stand twilight-years acoustic shit by mellowed-by-the-passing-of-time former monsters of rage & hate, but it's got to be said: that's one of the best of the best by the best of the best. xX
I'm coming back to see that incredible artist and man performing this soo beautiful song...
Happy New Year Michael! Your fan from Greece.

Gira played this "revision" of Blind when I saw him solo. Brilliant.

@ solongforlorn: Yes, that is Devendra playing that black Gibson electric guitar of some sort.

Yeah, he was playing with Angels of Light on that tour.

that is true indeed, is there any video of Gira stopping the song and screaming at Devendra for being out of tune like he did in LA that tour?

I find Gira more powrful when he does acoustic, back in the early Swans days, more danceable.
