Decemberists Live
I had a chance to see the The Decemberists play a show earlier this week and loved how they played ‘The Hazards of Love’ straight though. One of my favorite bits was watching Shara Worden (also known from her solo project as My Brightest Diamond) sing and rock out with the band. Luckily I was able to record a their live performance on Leno from last week so I can share and relive a bit of the magic.
Here’s ‘The Wanting Comes in Waves’ live on Leno in 540p HD (114 MB) or iPod (37MB) formats. The performance features Lavender Diamond’s Becky Stark (in green) on backing vocals along with Shara (in white), Colin, and the rest of The Decemberists. As you’re watching, imagine everything twice as loud and Shara even more animated and you’ll get an idea what the live concerts are like.
Enjoy!
