Spontaneous Concert

So mid-conversation with a dear friend today, I get a text from Jill saying that we should try and scalp tickets to see a sold-out Fleet Foxes concert. The Fleet Foxes' self-titled debut album last year was critically-acclaimed universally and a personal favourite of mine that I couldn't seem to stop listening to.

Needless to say we were successful in scalping and managed to only pay $27 a piece (The tickets were going for $60 on eBay last week). We also snuck up right along side the stage. Not bad for coming 15 minutes before their set. The show was really great--very unique atmosphere because everyone was listening so intently. The vocals on their albums  rival those of the Beach Boys and Crosby, Still, & Nash and surprisingly none of that sounds is lost in their live shows. In fact, their voices are even stronger live.

Jill and I hung around long enough to meet one of the band members, who was nice enough to have the entire band sign my ticket
