This gem from "Distant Plastic Tree" was performed live at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA, on Februart 27, 2010. Shirley Simms was the singer. The camera operator was not focused on focusing as much as he was on crying inner tears of joy.
Thank you for posting this! I was there that evening at the Fox, and absolutely loved every minute of the concert. I loved it so much, I hunted for tickets to go see them again across the Bay at SF's Herbst (where they were playing only a few days later,) but could not find any. It was just magical.
Does it do it justice? It's even better than the album version! I rarely say that about any band.
I really hope they release stuff like this some day.
