Laura Veirs Concert



Thank goodness for NPR. They've made multiple shows available to download, including sets by Belle and Sebastian and the New Pornographers, along with Iron & Wine and Calexico. A gem you might have missed: Laura Veirs opening for Colin Meloy in Alexandria, VA. The show was broadcast on January 28, only a few weeks before I would see Veirs put on a wonderful concert here in Edinburgh. Now, I don't know how to cut the 45-minute file up into segments but, honestly, it's better like this. Put it on while you do something quiet, you'll feel like beach-tides.


Setlist:

1. Cool Water
2. Where Gravity is Dead
3. Magnetized
4. Lake Swimming
5. Spelunking
6. Song My Friends Taught Me
7. Snow Camping
8. Riptide
9. Parisian Dream
10. Ether Sings
11. Fire Snakes

Visit Laura Veirs online, and read her lyrics here.

"I like to have real images people can grab onto so they can put their own meanings onto the songs."

Veirs is indeed a masterful songwriter. Her songs imagine landscapes filled with blind fish in deep seas, volcanoes and ash, stings and tears.

Enjoy.

I've split this and bundled it with images from NPR. It should be available via eMule as "Laura Veirs - Live at The Birchmere in Alexandria, VA (March 1st, 2006 ) - split, tagged, with photos".
