Has anybody seen Guster on their current acoustic tour?  I saw them in Seattle on Monday and they were fabulous as always.  I think they were actually better than the 2 previous times I've seen them.  Much more interactive with the audience and the cello and violin they had with them were terrific.

 
Yep. Saw them a couple of weeks ago at the Lincoln Theater in DC. Amazingly accessible—in some respects more so than their usual presentation. I think the "living room" setting relaxed them, letting some spontaneity and flexibility into what is usually a fairly set show. "Satellite" provoked the most engaging sing-along of the evening. Someone twittered a request for "Here Comes the Sun," which, despite protests they'd never played before, they pulled of with only a couple of hitches. Huge applause at the try.

They built their fan base through relentless touring; they know it; and they return the support with affection.

The graphic is a bit of proto-mystic wank. The music outweighs it.

Merely an observation - a solid tune for sure.

This is just one of many Guster songs from this album that I've heard on RP and signed in to rate favorably. I see a music purchase in my future!

Made a disc of about 25 of my favorite songs for a new boyfriend....this was the only one he liked. 

The song is still a fave, but he's not.

NOT. Simply an additional demographic that this song appeals to...not the only.

This is a great song - is the rest of the album as good?
 

Yes - not the highs of some of their earliest albums, but actually I think the sonically tightest album (if you can follow the comparison and are a Decemberists fan, this is like their "Crane Wife", missing the singalong gems but really well-knit and solid).

Have always liked Guster.  Saw them at a Bay Area music festival over ~10 years ago when they were on a side stage.{#Smile}
