What: The Decemberists played with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Where: The Hollywood Bowl
When: Saturday night
This was an amazing event. It was big, it was loud, it was over the top - it was freaking amazing! The first two opening acts (Band of Horses and Andrew Bird) were great and I'm looking forward to devouring their music catalogues in the next week. However, they were just the yummy, but not quite fulfilling appetizer served before the main event. This concert has been the highlight of my summer and ranks in the top 3 best concerts ever.
We had great box seats, brought in a picnic dinner and 2 bottles of wine, sat under the stars listening to great music and had one of the best nights out in a while.
Entertainment Weekly has a column about the show and the orchestra's pairing with the band.
Pitchfork mentions the concert, but their pictures are much better than its review.
Also, the Hollywood Bowl is a fantastic venue - I'm saddened that it's taken me 3 years to get there.
