Unwound

A quick reminder to myself that in the future I really should swap out my 15dB earplug filters for the 25dB ones (or maybe even the solid ones) if I’m going to be right next to the speakers. My left ear was not the same after this show, and I hope it’s not permanent. That said, of all the dozens of shows I’ve attended in this room over the years, I don’t remember any of them ever sounding this good, so at least I didn’t risk my hearing for nothing.

I got a little emotional seeing Sara Lund behind the drums, where she belongs, after what she’s been through in the two years since Unwound last came through Philly. She also pointed out that the last time they played this particular stage was two days after 9/11. What a quarter century we’ve had.
