At City Market, Kansas City. June 3, 2011.
It has been a while since I saw a band on the upward side of their career arc, let alone on the first night of superstardom. Such was the case on June 3, the first night of the first big city Mumford tour since they exploded this Spring following their performance on the Grammys. Their excitement at playing for 10,000 people (they were in KC last June and played to 200) was palpable and it made for a neat experience. All of their songs were played exceptionally well. The complexity of the songs and the 9-10 instruments all worked in a live venue, and the band was able to deliver sincerity in the many quiet, reflective moments of their catalogue. Don't miss their Unplugged this Friday on Palladia. This isn't a clear video, but it captures what it was like at the concert, especially at the 4:00 mark.

That video link wears this agoraphobic out. All those ladies wailing. But the song is truly excellent and was an immediate Itunes purchase when you made it Song of the Day back in March. Looking forward to the unplugged stuff tomorrow night.
