The Hold Steady "The Swish" (20.8 MB) from The Hold Steady Almost Killed Me Orpheum Stagedoor Madison, WI May 18, 2007

Astonishingly, of all the stuff I recorded at this show -- and it was quite a bit -- this is the only clip that's not from Boys and Girls in America. Instead it's from the band's debut album, which it's hard to believe is only a little over three years old. It's generally a much rougher sounding album than their other two, with more bar band feel. They played a few songs from it, which mixed in pretty well with the newer stuff (that is to say, all of Boys and Girls and a few from Separation Sunday), and had more of the crowd than I'd expect going crazy.
