Fleet Foxes at The Metro (10.12.08)

I attended tonight's sold out Fleet Foxes show at the Metro, initially without a ticket, but thankfully the box office had a block of five tickets left for sale beforehand. Now, I stated earlier in the year that I was bummed I missed these guys with Blitzen Trapper at Schubas, however I was able to catch them at Pitchfork Fest, which was great. Tonight though was even better. I suppose that's what touring for months on end does to a band. Even the in-between song banter has picked up from before, like tonight's "Corn for President," good stuff. Anyway, tonight was lovely, however, I do believe J. Tillman may have been under the weather because he seemed to not be as talkative as usual. Also, if you didn't notice, John Stirratt and Pat Sansone of Wilco/The Autumn Defense were in attendance and I believe I saw Alex and Victoria from Beach House too. Below is a picture of the mentioned "Pitchfork Plaque" and tonight's setlist. The new self-titled release, Fleet Foxes, is out now via Sub Pop.
