iron and wine with calexico

went to see iron and wine with calexico last night....you know when you see a band perform and then you go home and listen to their album again and you hear it in a whole new light?? i couldn't keep track of all the instruments they had onstage -> 2 accordions, 2 trumpets, , 2 sets of drums, a xylophone, a banjo. the y had a great stage set up with a giant sheet like back drop playing old b/w film clips- mostly western scenes - horses, cowboys, wide open planes.

and so the encore was appropriate -> they performed "wild horse" and the impact of 12 amazing musicians on one small stage was overwhelming!

i linked this post to another blog where you can download the concert mp3 style (via npr). you have several choices - iron and wine, calexico, and both together (totaling 25 songs!!!)

enjoy!
