This is a shorty post, but I wanted to bring your attention to this video — last week, loads of brilliant musical acts got together for the purposes of fundraising for Chris Knox. Overall, it seemed that Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel was the draw of the evening, but the fundraiser itself was a huge success. Now, I know that this video is somewhat awful, but the audio is decent, and on it you can hear how beautifully excited the audience was — holding back an electric hum for what seemed like the entire time. It was the sweetest audience I’ve seen in a long time.
Along with the opener, “Oh Comely,” Mangum played “A Baby for Pree,” “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea,” “Two-Headed Boy Part II,” and “Engine,” then quietly exited — along with 30% of the audience.
