I have been out in Boston the last five days, seeing the foliage turn to 'prime', eating lobster in Rockport and watching the Red Sox.  I was able to catch a few shows during my stay as well, starting with Death Cab at BU, Mason Jennings at Paradise Rock Club and Fleet Foxes at Sommerville Theatre.

Located in Davis Square, Sommerville is an old theatre that doubles as a movie theatre and venue; think Spreckels, but half the size.  Surprisingly, the Fleet Foxes announced this was the first sit down theatre they had ever played in. (surprising because I could not imagine a more fitting venue)  The band was playful all night, constantly interacting with the crowd, and sounded amazing. Here are a couple songs from the evening.

For the encore, lead singer, Robin Pecknold, unplugged his guitar and stepped in front of the monitors and microphones.  Using just the house acoustics, he serenading the enthralled audience.
