Loved the 10/29 Mountain Goats show. The oh so talented multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas seamlessly shifted from sax to keyboard to lead guitar, sometimes during the same song. Peter Hughes provided a solid foundation on bass and Jon Wurster's a monster on the drums.
A barefoot Darnielle was animated thru the set expressing how much he missed a live audience. The approximately 90 minute set covered the life of the band (minus this year's releases) with some nice chestnuts thrown in to the mix... Darnielle played a cute little ditty called My Little Panda which I assume he wrote for one of his children. Well worth the $30 admission price. All hail Mountain Goats!
