The Decemberists à Paris

Artist:
This concert happened a verrryy long time ago (Feb. 22) and I'm just now writing about it! Getting to the venue (La Maroquinerie, Paris) was an adventure. It was about 30 min. from where I lived via metro and then it was on a side street after a series of huge hills. But my friend and I made it in time. When we got there, Lavender Diamond was just starting their set and they were amazing! Her voice was great and they were really friendly and nice. Unfortunately they didn't speak French, but a ton of French people speak English, so I'm sure all were happy. The venue was pretty small and it had a lower "level" that was like 2 steps down from the rest and then the stage was probably 2 feet off the ground. So after Lavender Diamond ended, it was really easy to get up to the front, which was awesome.Set list:Crane Wife 3The IslandWe Both Go Down TogetherEngine DriverBilly LiarLegionnaireShankill ButchersO Valencia16 Military WivesCrane Wife 1 & 2Sons & DaughtersEncore:Red Right AnkleCover of "Feels like Making Love" w/Lavender DiamondThe band sounded great! The only thing was that Colin was not chatting it up with the crowd...I think he was a little intimidated by the language barrier, which was definitely unfortunate because he's usually really great with the crowd and this time, it was just kind of like we're playing this song and that's it. But overall, it was amazing! Ugh, but there were these completely obnoxious American girls (probably 14-16 yrs. old) who were drunk and soo loud. And it was embarrassing. I just thought to myself, so this is why French people think Americans are obnoxious...
