This is The Decemberists performing their song "Oceanside" at the Avalon in Boston on March 24, 2007. The song is from their Five Songs EP.
The Decemberists - O New England
Wed come seven hours down
Took the blue line to see where we hopped out
And I was only joking, I was only joking
And I was only trying to get a laugh
You say this was the furthest that we had come
We traveled so far to watch it fall undone
And I had lost my token, you were looking bent and broken
Staring sideways ...
The Decemberists perform "Grace Cathedral Hill" live at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, April 2007. The is was actually the third song of the night after they opened with The Crane Wife, parts 1, 2, and 3; and all parts of The Island. I have those songs uploaded from the show in the fall, and so I've skipped uploading them this time.
The Decemberists, accompanied by the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra, perform "The Infanta" from their album "Picaresque" live at the Hollywood Bowl on July 7, 2007. It was a spectacular first show of The Decemberists' orchestral tour. My seat was pretty far from the stage, so the picture isn't very good (and sometimes goes out of focus), but th...

The Decemberists - Raincoat Song
Caroline youre angry
Cause you sleep like a spinster
And you're twenty-eight
You been thinking late
You couldnt catch a cold
Bend your head double
In the goose-down
Piling all the pillows high
Heave your fiercest sigh
And see if thatll work
And the raincoat that you wore
When it rained today
And the raincoat th...

The Decemberists perform The Mariner's Revenge Song to a sold out crowd at City Hall in Nashville, April 5, 2007
In matching blue raincoats
Our shoes were our show boats
We kicked around.
From stairway to station
We made a sensation
With the gadabout crowd.
And oh, what a bargain,
We're two easy targets
For the old men at the off-tracks,
Who've paid in palaver
And crumpled old dollars,
Which we squirreled away
In our rat trap hotel by the freeway.
And we slep...

The Decemberists - Record Year
I read in the paper today
Its been a record year for rainfall
And you were leaning gainst the bathroom wall
In your lonely dress
Was your only dress
Stand accusing across
I got a temper set for tender
And you were shrugging it off like a feather
Saying, Oh
Would you look at this weather?
Whats the use of all of th...

The Decemberists - Shiny
By the bumper cars
In the pretty twining light
I may have gone too far
I may have gone too much, too long.
I'm a dull and witless boy
In the after-bars
Think I was sullied by a dream
In the killing jar
you and me at war, at arms, all falling in embrace
Tell me why you lied, and what it is you do to keep your eyes all shi...
