Mogwai - Tracy (live in Toronto)

I recorded this performance of "Tracy" at a Mogwai concert on June 30th 2008 at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Although I started recording a bit late, I really didn't miss much. I wish the band would officially release their live version of this piece, as it's wonderfully brief and captures the highlights of what can otherwise be, toward the end, a quite unmelodic and dull track on the studio album "Young Team."

The view isn't the best essentially because I was trying to see if I could record footage without blocking another's view. I always kept my camera directly in front of my chest or shoulder. It was an experiment to see if this was at all possible because one of the biggest crimes, to me, is when you've paid money to experience a concert and some jerk sticks his camera or cell phone above his body in front of your view to record the show. I just don't think that's right, and I wanted to see if it was possible to avoid doing that.

The moments when the view is obstructed is when this young woman kept moving around in front of my chest, so her head pops up every so often.

@myeyesarelines It is great, isn't it? I wish the band would just release a nice live version of it because it's more tight without all the chatter.
