Islands - Graceland (live at the First Unitarian Church, Philadelphia, 12/05/05)
Now you can hear exactly what I was talking about when I said this:
They played everything that's slated for "Return to the Sea" and more ('I Feel Evil Creepin' In' is chronologically new(er), I think- the chorus of which is indescribably catchy; Guthrie, Diamonds and Sebastien Chow all singing the title phrase simultaneously) and put an effective exclamation point on the "Graceland" influence by, you know, covering the title track of that album (funny moment: after the punishingly amazing finale of 'Swans', the audience started leaving, slowly. Guthrie came back out after a minute, but it looked like he was just retrieving equipment. Then Nick Diamonds came out and said, "just packing up". So everyone turns their backs and suddenly the band's all there, rocking the intro of the Paul Simon classic).
Anyway, this live recording is from the always great peeps over at the Secret Unicorns Forum.
