So, one of the highlights of last night's *free* Josh Ritter show was when the openers, The David Wax Museum, came out to join Josh and his band for Rattling Locks. They brought a fun percussion section to an already driving song, and then Ritter & his band went straight into "Harrisburg", complete with a story about their journey from Philly to Pittsburgh earlier in the day. I wish I'd have had the camera rolling for these two, but alas, I failed to do so. I'm hoping someone else will post a vid with both songs, but for now, here's "Rattling Locks":
Live at Hartwood Acres 6-5-11 (sorry, it cuts off before the end, but you'll see the fun way they did it, with the percussion and the bass player going nuts...):
Album version:
"I had a dream where I was dyin', but it wasn't no nightmare ~ I was peaceful as I fell; and if I was fallin' into heaven, heaven must be hotter than the Bible tells..."
