Jeff Mangum yesterday...
was really great in Montreal. His voice has not aged a bit since the NMH recordings, spot on, hits every note. Also did not know what to expect from him as a person but he was talkative and generally seemed very happy to be there.
There's nothing mindblowing, just him and a guitar, singing all these songs the whole room loved. But he did it so perfectly and the whole crowd was singing along to most of the tunes (which he encouraged a few times). A pretty special evening for any NMH fan. If you're seeing him sometime this year I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Setlist was pretty much the same as what I found for the Vermont gig on Monday:
Oh Comely
In The Aeroplane Over the Sea
A Baby For Pree
Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone
Two-Headed Boy, Part 2
