Great show in San Diego (despite them being exhausted). I even prefer when a band shows their human side a bit during shows. Thanks for the photos coldengrey!
I really wanted to request Home Life, and a second encore, but that would have been asking too much of them I think...

Pictures from San Francisco. Set was the same as LA, but Jonathan threw in a solo version of I'm So Glad as per an audience member's request at the beginning of the encore. By the way, this was probably the best Shearwater gig EVER.

I saw a couple claims to that effect. What made it so special? Good crowd, or...?

jkade, I don't think I can pin it down to any one thing that made the SFO show so special. You kinda had to be there. Maybe I'll be able to articulate it after the tour's over. I'm going to have two days on the train home to reflect and collect my thoughts. At least, that's what I'm hoping is going to be the case.

Photos from Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. Setlists were the same, save for JM's solo encores: in Portland, a cover of Scott Walker's Duchess; Seattle, Nobody; Vancouver, All the Pretty Horses. There will be videos of those forthcoming. And more. *edit: all the photos from the week in one vulgar belch here.

The rest of the videos: Hail, Mary in Los Angeles. Animal Life in Portland. Nobody in Seattle. White Waves and Immaculate in Vancouver. And some Gold Leaves for good measure.

I try.  Husky was really good, and they were nice guys too. I would/will definitely see them again. But Gold Leaves, OMG! ♥! I've been listening to The Ornament incessantly since I got home.

Um, so I guess I'm now a contributor at (super-awesome Seattle-based blog) Three Imaginary Girls and you can read what I wrote about the west coast tour here.

Well that came as a surprise, Shearwater will play the ICELAND AIRWAVES FESTIVAL 2012! I would have never guessed to see them on Iceland -> so great! On a sidenote: Swans will also play there, so Thor is also on the island...

Does anyone get the newsletter? Because I can never see anything on that one, I always just get a blank white mail... don't know why. And I'd love to know about "SHEARWATER: Fall Tours, "From the Basement", mini album, and more"...

I got it. It looked OK to me in Gmail/Chrome. Here's the text: Quote: US & European Tours -
Mini-album - Falklands -
From the Basement
Dear Friends,
Hello from the deserts of southwest Utah, where I've been hiking for the last week or so after returning from the Falklands. (If you're ever out near Capitol Reef National Park, may I suggest outstanding free camping in the Dixie National Forest and hiking in Upper Muley Twist canyon?). The Falklands trip was beautiful and strange, and I'll be posting some pictures and text about it on National Geographic's music site in a few weeks. (You can stream an interview and short live performance I did with my friend Stacy Bragger on the Falkland Islands Radio Service).
After months of nonstop touring, it's been great to get away from the urban world and back to some vast spaces, silences, and wild creatures. I'm still convinced that the real action is mostly out here.
But I'm also really looking forward to the next two months of touring, which start next week with the legendary Dinosaur Jr in Nashville. Dates are below - please note the two headlining shows in Kansas City (with Cowboy Indian Bear) and Chicago that we've shoehorned into days "off".

After that, we're heading to Europe, beginning with the Iceland Airwaves festival, returning to places we visited earlier in the year (including the UK), and adding in a few spots we've never been (Budapest, for example). It'll be a great way to finish off major touring for Animal Joy, and the most dates we've ever played in a single year.

We're also already looking ahead to the first months of next year - plenty of recording is planned, including a mini-album of songs by bands we've toured with over the years (we're welcoming suggestions on our facebook page). It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since I watched Ray Janos cut the lacquer masters for Animal Joy.
Last but not least, the episode of "From the Basement" that we taped with Nigel Godrich a few months ago (ask me about that day sometime) is airing in 3D on 3net at 9 PM EDT/PDT tonight - but for those of us without the right equipment, it'll be posted for streaming on Crackle on October 25th.
See you out there, sooner than later.

Saw the guys open for Dinosaur Jr. in Santa Ana last night, awesome as per usual. I wish I could've swung Frisco as well, but I'll be at the Seattle show on Friday! Which I'm super effing excited about. Anyway, some photos and the setlist: Landscape at Speed Animal Life Dread Sovereign You as You Were Insolence Immaculate Pushing the River Breaking the Yearlings Star of the Age These Days A couple of videos to follow soon-ish.
