The Decemberists - The Mariner's Revenge Song Live Part 1

http://djmonstermo.blogspot.com/
The Decemberists live at Millennium Park in Chicago, July 18, 2007, performing "16 Military Wives", up close and personal! For this song, Colin enlisted audience participation by asking us to scream as if being eaten by a whale on the proper cue. Great moments: Jenny Conlee's cute-ish vocals and role playing, Colin and John getting interactive around the floor tom, the swaying part of the song, and Chris Funk running around like a madman cuing for us to scream. The highlight, however, was Colin leaning over from the stage allowing people (including myself) to touch his guitar and suit.

I was at that show. I was just right of you. This was such a great show. The thunderstorm that commenced during the show was just perfect for the feel of the song.
