In the second half of their set, with all their technical problems sorted out, the Apples began to really dive into their newer material. In particular, they played three of my favorites in succession: "Same Old Drag," "Skyway" and "7 Stars," which I think is probably my favorite track on the new album. None of the songs were quite the same as the recorded versions -- they lacked both the studio experimentation that got laid to tape and the female backing vocals that are scattered around the album takes -- but they all got huge responses from the crowd. New Magnetic Wonder had only been out for three weeks before this show, but the audience's familiarity with the new songs makes me think that not just a few people in attendance downloaded the leak that appeared online in late 2006.

The reason they don't seem that "good" live is because New Magnetic Wonder is kinda overproduced. Of course it's not going to sound exactly like the album, they spent hours redubbing etc.
