I love that comments are still coming in on this over a year later. As you can see from my page, I go to a lot of concerts, and post a good amount of videos. Not only was this one of the most surreal shows I've ever been to, but this is definitely one of my favorite vids I've posted. Anyway, thank you all for the positive comments. The band and this performance clearly are worth it.

This deeply moved me. It makes me feel glad the World exists when it's easy to think otherwise.

I keep returning to this to try to recapture what happened there that morning. You can see it here, but the sensations, especially during this song could never be captured or really explained. I will fail...but the fog that crept up in the middle of the night, the echo of the percussion and that voice filling the space we all found together was completely chilling and extraordinary. I have been seeing shows for years, and this will always be the pinnacle of music moving me.

WOW!! This is so magical. The crowd seems totally silent all the way through. The fog looks as if it lifts towards the end due to the good vibes.

@AdamWes - best response ever. I tried with my blabbing comment about a minute ago - but you said what i was feeling and too stupid to articulate. :] I keep hoping it happens again, but selfishly sort of hope that it doesn't.

@ScottS949 -- gawwwwd... this STILL gives me goose bumps. SO many memories from this night, emotions, bad decisions, new friends, good beer.. ugh.. makes me sad.but happy. Thanks so much for posting. Best night/morning ever.

I would say a large percentage of the hits on this video belong to me. I watch this daily, and keep coming back for more. The beauty of the scene, the haunting vocal harmonies echoing into the audience makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. And oh to have been there... I imagine I would have been in tears of awe and joy. Thank you for this post, truly breathtaking...
