So I'm finally getting around to posting a blog of my photography from this show, and I've also uploaded all of the video I shot of mewithoutYou and The Dear Hunter for your viewing pleasure (or pain I suppose if you hate these bands for some odd reason).
Photos of Bear Colony:
These guys played a really solid set of songs, honestly. I had never listened to Bear Colony before tonight, but I was impressed. Many of their songs build into an awesome crescendo towards the end. Definitely recommend checking them out.
The Dear Hunter was great, and it was my first time seeing them. I hadn't seen Casey perform in a band since 2005 on the Acceptance/TREOS/Cartel/Augustana/Panic! tour.
I was able to capture three songs on video from TDH's setlist:
The Church And The Dime
The Oracles On The Delphi Express
Where The Road Parts
mewithoutYou always moves me when they play a live show, and it is always enlightening to speak with Aaron Weiss after each show. God is doing wonderful things in my life right now, and this band was the catalyst for the change in my life almost 3 years ago now. I can never thank them enough for being the voice God needed me to hear.
I was able to record 9 songs (8 videos, as one is two songs combined) from their set, and I snapped some pretty cool shots as well.
Setlist:
The Soviet
Bullet To Binary pt 2
A Glass Can Only Spill What It Contains
Goodbye, I
Sun and the Moon which merged perfectly into Tie Me Up, Untie Me!
Every Thought A Thought Of You
Beetle King
Son Of A Widow
January 1979
Timothy Hay
A Fox, A Crow and a Cookie
Paper Hanger (didn't play this, although it was the last song on the set during the encore)
Allah, Allah, Allah
----
O, Porcupine
Cattail Down
In A Sweater Poorly Knit
I look incredibly tired, and rightly so. I drove 7 hours to see this show.
Here are the videos, in order of appearance on the set:
