Swell Season Live - Say It To Me Now - from Front Row Center HD

Swell Season - Say It To Me Now - Oakland, Paramount Theater, 11/20/2009. Glen tells a great story about meeting "Lois from New York", dedicates the song to her, and starts playing... and then quickly unplugs his guitar, noting "Singin that song plugged in just doesn't make any sense...". View from front row center... it was like he was singing right to us.
Powerful moment from an amazing show. (Shot with a Cannon SX200 IS in 720p - Watch it in HD!)
This is my first KZbin upload, please rate!
Note: Performance actually starts at 4:13 or so, if you don't want the story.
Update: Glen revisited the story in response to my question at the ill-fated Saratoga show August 19th, 2010. You can see it here: • The Swell Season in HD...

I saw them for the first time at the Paramount, for their tour in 2008 after "Once" came out, and i wanted to find a clip from their show in November and stumbled across this. great shot, well done! at their show at radio city music hall on tuesday night that i was just at, he told this story before the song too :) such a good story, so sad though

Just discovered this band this morning and have fallen in love. I loved it so much i found your video - never take it off please, it is perfect (and yes i cried to that story- it broke my heart) Thanks x

[@Kittaan]

Thanks. I'm rather proud of it. I'm also glad they weren't hassling people about shooting. They told us it was cool as long as you kept the flash off, which is more than reasonable.

[@dlr5382]

Love this video... thanks a bunch, Kittaan... his story put such a big smile on my face!

[@Kittaan]

My pleasure. Glad you dug it.

Thanks for posting. This was one of the highlights of the night and it's so nice to be able to relive it! Do you, by any chance, have video of his cover of Astral Weeks from that night?

Hi, and you're welcome. No, I have some other, lesser clips from that show that I may put up, but Astral Weeks isn't one of them. Thanks for the reply.
