Saw a version of NMH at the Moore theater in Seattle... I think several people from Elf Power were helping out. Such a classic album!!! Never thought I'd get a chance to see them.

Hopefully music is still happening like this somewhere in American

That's pretty cool. What did you think?

It was good...might have been 2012 or 2015...Jeff had a lot of musicians helping him out on stage to reproduce the sound. Got the feeling he really wanted to give the fans a good show. I think i remember the guy from elf power getting out the saw even... Just read on his wiki that "Slate described Mangum as the "Salinger of Indie Rock."" So kind of cool that he gets out there and does it at all, I was grateful.
