The Decemberists - kid from audience plays "Chimbley Sweep"

One of several videos I recorded at the Decemberists concert on April 25, 2007 at the Warfield in San Francisco, CA. This is a short clip of a kid from the audience who jumped up onto the stage after the band had climbed down into the audience. He put on Colin Meloy's guitar, got help adjusting the strap from a techie, then played the song "The Chimbley Sweep" from where the band had left off.

That's not Chimbley Sweep he's playing though, it's The Mariner's Revenge Song...

Great job though....he played the widow and the son...heh.

Kids got some talent.

[KDLooHoo]

It's Chimbley Sweep.

"O lonely urchin!" the widow cried

"Ive not been swept since the day my husband died."

Her cheeks a blushing, her legs laid bare

And shipwrecked there Ill shake you from your sleep.
