The Clientele played an acoustic show in the darkened dotty burgundy room upstairs at the Lexington during the Hangover Lounge. The quiet place and atmosphere suited them perfectly. The last song of their main set was the magnificent "Rain", a song I have always wanted to hear them perform live but which I never have. Apparently, they had never performed the live together! I find that hard to believe as I did hear Alasdair perform it live on a New York radio show recently but that is what the bass player stated! Amazing.
I thought it was Voices in the Mall (about two songs before Rain) that they hadn't played before...? But I think it was Alasdair that said that, so if you heard James say they hadn't played Rain before either, then perhaps both are true... Thanks for sharing anyway (we were sat just a few feet to your left!)
