this is a lovely time of year here and a lot of places, getting the last of the (now only slightly) longer days, enjoying the last of the (now not very) warm weather, and the long warm glow of the sun on the bricks has its last hurrah before the cold sunsets of late autumn.

that what i’m listening to matches my mood is not coincidence…  a track of this, a track of that, finally find the right thing.  which today was this.  a rather understated, a bit wistful and, unfortunately, not overly long performance that bears another listening to.

btw, there’s a video with a bit of this on the internet.

these two shows, only days apart, have only two pieces in common, giving the effect of a 2-hour+ concert (even allowing for the duplicates).  it’s not just the still dreaming album, though much of that does appear (mostly in the first show).  i wonder if anyone made the (5 hour by car) trip to see both shows?  probably.  i realize this is the first concert in some time with no piano, just horns, bass & drums, so if  you’re in the mood for that, i think you’ll enjoy this.
