Decemberists Cover REM with Peter Buck – Flac and MP3 Downloads

June 11, 2009
By

The Decemberists concert at Radio City Music Hall tonight ended just a couple of hours ago. For the first encore, in a really nice surprise Colin Meloy brought Peter Buck on stage and the band performed a near-perfect rendition of the REM classic “Begin The Begin”, the opening track on 1986’s Lifes Rich Pageant.

    Heh, well the three screaming-like-little-girls guys who were next to me are driving me crazy in the editing process.

    I taped Fiery Furnacez last night and that was an easy edit. That show is going up in a few hours.

    Decemberists will be up by the end of the day tomorrow (Saturday).

    Did you record Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 as well? Love to see a setlist of what they played, Colin came out and joined them.
