Imagine hearing The Glow Pt. 2 before it came out

[@neryleal5265]

No no no imagine hear i want to be cold before it came out, then hearing it later when the album came out for the first time. That moment of realization when you realize it wasn't that acoustic song you remember from this concert. Like that must have been insane

The Microphones were gifted to me by my late friend. He got ahold of 'Mt. Eerie' on vinyl. He told me to sit down and take it in. I obeyed. We listened to the album through.. it's as if he knew how important Mt. Eerie would someday be to me.. I miss you, David Hargrove. I am forever grateful to you for everything.. 🙏

[@hollybrabra]

I was lucky enough to see Phil play live several times during this era. In 2001 him and Kyle from Little Wings played two nights in a row in Moscow, Idaho when I was in my first year of college. The first night was in someone’s living room. The next night was in the back of a gyro restaurant where they built this beautiful stage with large rolls of paper. These two shows totally changed my concept of live music and left a huge impression on me. Thanks for uploading this!

[@thermoose]

I think that's the tour that is documented in the Wide Old Little Boy DVD

With most of Phil's music, you have to get it by ear and finding these videos. I heard he also tends to reply to emails with tabs and so on, and in some of his booklets that come with Vinyl, there are tabs for his songs. Such as the Mount Eerie album. I'm not sure about It was hot though. Oh, I forgot to mention check out the Mount Eerie preservation society. They have tabs there, including full The Pull tabs posted August, although the files aren't loading for me. I think it's the best source to get authentic Mount Eerie tabs, and the community is really nice to check out every few months to see if there's anything new.
