Are The Decemberists and Pearl Jam.
I can't get enough of The Decemberists. Very engaging live.
The band changes up their set list and throws in some offbeat covers. And of course, there's "The Mariner's Revenge Song"
the ultimat audience participation song.
I saw them twice the last time in San Francisco.
I saw Pearl Jam most recently at the Gorge in Eastern Washington in 2005 and at the LA Forum during their last tour.
Both shows had 3+ hour sets.
I don't really go to too many shows anymore, the three reasons are, people talking, especially during quieter songs. Lame opening bands, and pot smoke, which I have a bad reaction to.
Aren't most venues supposed to be smoke-free?
