Decemberists in Grant Park!

Here's a clip of the encore of the Decemberists concert Jon and I went to last week. It wasn't raining by that point. They played with the Orchestra most of the night, and we were so far back on the lawn we couldn't see anything. But once the orchestra left we ran up there for a closer view, and they played 2 fun songs with lots of audience participation! We had a blast, and the crowd was pretty crazy. Most people were on their feet doing gigs around the back of the seating area. It's a long clip, but kind of fun, although it obviously sounded a lot better live! For some reason the last 30 seconds of the song are on another link - I'll put it at the bottom if you're really intrepid. BTW, it's the Mariner's Revenge Song, about a guy who gets swallowed by a whale, and that's why the crowd's really screaming at some points!

Looks like a fun concert Laura! Liz and I are just now trying to pick what day of the bumbershoot festival we want to go to..or to skip it to see the arctic monkeys instead.
