There's nothing that can beat that for watching live music.
I loved RR and BBD also - besides the music they are great to shoot. More so RR than BBD - Liela Moss is very physical in her performance and that is so much more interesting than people who stand there kissing the mic like statues all night. BBD is too to an extent but their set was so goddamn dark I barely got anything.
He's done or just about done on the film score so he said he's starting work on another album next, so I expect another US tour in the fall or winter. I'll try to hit up more than one show this time.
If you follow his twitter, he posted some pics of his kids in NYC and mentions Echo's birthday in them. Oh that reminds me, he talked in Nashville about his kids and going on some kind of Harry Potter ride - maybe at Disneyland? And said it was the worst and most frightening experience he's had as a father - apparently it's billed as a "kids' ride" and he asked the staff if they really meant it was suitable for young children and they said it was - well when they get you in there, you're strapped in and it goes UP and DOWN and SPINS and is fucking horrifying - he felt sick himself and his kids were screaming for him to get them out and he couldn't do anything about it - said it was the worst thing he's experienced as a father, listening to his children in terror and not being able to do anything.
