Jeff Mangum at Lupo's

with Tall Firs, Briars of North America

A packed crowd at Lupo's in Providence, crystal chandelier above, everyone shoulder to shoulder waiting for Jeff Mangum

This was the kind of show where everyone in the room knows every word. My closest memory to that level of committment is Dashboard Confessional. The singer fades to the background. He played all the Neutral Milk Hotel hits. More a group ceremony than a concert.
