Belle and Sebastion doing their legendary song Portland Oregon for the second time in their career. To my understanding, Stevie played this on September 11 2001 and not again til their return to Portland in 2006.

Yes, My Brother who followed them through the west coast tour had invited me to this MAGICAL (not sure if the) SHOW (would happen on such a day), but Turn Turn Turn....They had played with an opening cover for every show and for this day Sept. 11th 2001 they chose the Byrds Turn Turn Turn.....

I was here! This was by far the most amazing concert I've ever been to. Jonathan Richman opened and when belle and sebastian opened they started with a cover of the byrd's turn turn turn. 9/11/2001: It was such an odd day. Nobody knew what was going on and there was hardly a dry eye in the audience with that song.

does anyone know possibly if there is a recorded version of this song anywhere?! I would be so psyched if someone could find one

I never knew they had a song called Portland, Oregon, Wow!

[baxterilion]

Wow... I was there at the Sept. 11 show. That was the first time they played it?

[CrinkleCutBeatroot]

I think Stevie wrote it

[Sam666gelber]

Is this an original song?

[themadmarty]

That's because it's only been sung twice! ;)

This is awesome. I was at the show! I can't find a recorded track of this anywhere.
