The Decemberists - Missoula, MT (5/24/2009)

We made a short trip over to Missoula to see the Decemberists they day after their Sasquatch performance. It was a homecoming of sorts for Colin Meloy who was born in Montana and started the band Tarkio there. They played The Hazards of Love in it's entirety followed by a varied collection of Colin Meloy/Tarkio/Decemberists tunes. The Hazards of Love takes on new life on the stage and the Decemberists played for almost 3 hours.
