Jonathan Coulton and Paul and Storm, Union Chapel, London -- Always The Moon (unplugged)

This was the first song of the encore at the concert at London's Union Chapel on Friday the 13th of November, 2009. Since the acoustics were so good in the chapel, they decided to try going off-mic. The sound was a little quiet from the balcony (as evidenced by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzoAoEP8beo) but from right in front of the stage I'd say the experiment was a huge success. :)

My camera was set up on a tripod on-stage, but they had to pass it to me so they could stand right at the front of the stage.

This song was written for a Masters of Song Fu challenge to write a song about the moon. Paul and Storm played their entry for the same round, 'Cruel, Cruel Moon', earlier in the set. You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dERU3509DRY

Awesome end to a great concert.

I agree, it was an awesome enough ending to almost make me forget that they played First of May after this (I'll upload that soon.)

The acoustics were brilliant in there, you could have an entire conversation from one end of the room to the other.

I'm starting to wonder if I said anything stupid/top secret, now.

Heehee, you hear me shout Freebird.

This was the most amazing version of any JoCo song ever though...

[elegaer]

This was soooo gorgeous, what a wonderful building to play in!

If I ever go back I'm gonna shout random names to see if anyone replies.
