Fleet Foxes

Only on youtube, and they sound tight. I will see them at some point with this tour even if I am required to travel.

I've seen them 6 times live. Every show was great, and they always sounded awesome. I think I saw them once after Helplessness Blues was released. J Tillman always provided some comic relief in between songs, which was fun. It's sad that he's not part of the group any more, but he's doing well.

I'm kicking myself for this, but I saw them at Pitchfork Fest in 2008. It was one of my first times in Chicago so I wanted to see some of the city and only saw Caribou, Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend, then left.

This was the lineup for that day...

Many of those bands were unknown to me at the time, but the bolded ones later became some of my favorite, and there are many others that in hindsight, I would like to have seen and still haven't. Ugh... and there was hardly anybody there! It was a small crowd at a small park for a festival.

Sorry to derail, just thought I'd share that story.

Saw them a couple of times: Howlin Wolf in New Orleans in 2008 and at Austin City Limits some time after that. Great shows.
