It must suck for them when they have to play for strangers. If these were fans the sky would have started to move with joy.

Man, I was at this show. Fantastic set. Thank you for helping me relive it

[@Noiseofvarrich]

Did they just fucking come out on the stage to Discordance Axis. I mean thats fucking amazing but holy shit what a surprise

[@billyalarie929]

is that who that is? i was wondering. that's dope. not too surprising but very cool nonetheless.

[@joshjones9631]

That set is insane

[@Andrew-tb6xu]

This large outdoor venue was not a good outlet for their sound at all, clearly. Thanks for sharing, though :) Also I love that Peter can't ever seem to remember the words to Cubs in Five.

Dude. First off, his name is John. Second, you're right, The Mountain Goats are best in an intimate setting, but there's something great about seeing them in the middle of one of the biggest fests in the country

@@drewstewart8772 Peter Hughes. The bassist. Awkward....

[@drewstewart8772]

Was something wrong with John's mic here? I love Peter's vocal solo in gtg, but I don't think that was on purpose lol Amazing performance though. Gorgeous version of birth of serpents and I love how immersed Peter was for psalms 40:2

[@aslawrence]

43:15 Nary a tMG fan in sight. Approaching heatstroke. Styx. STYX. They can barely contain themselves. Fantastic.
