We saw Great Big Sea last night.

Holy hell, was that awesome. We were in the 12th row, and the Moore Theatre is a rather small one, so it was a cozy feeling all around. During their second encore, they quieted the audience down, and sang "Old Brown's Daughter", a capella, completely unwired. No mics or anything. It was utterly fantastic.

Apart from the two encores, they played two sets - the first one was filled with "traditional" songs, many of their sea chanteys and such, and the second was mostly their more poppish type stuff.

It was particularly great, considering I only found out that they were playing on Friday afternoon. Yay.

Next up is Ben Folds, in about three weeks. Should be awesome.

Well, according to my tour shirt, they're in Portland, um, tonight. Here in Seattle, they still had tickets at the door, so it might be worth a shot.

Well, they've got a date in Northampton and two in Cambridge, so it shouldn't be too hard! Good luck.
