The Decemberists<\/strong><\/a> are amongst our favorite musical acts.\u00a0 Ever.\u00a0 They’ll go toe to toe and pound for pound with any other act out there, and not lose anything in the melee.\u00a0 And yet we haven’t managed to catch them live heretofore.\u00a0 But come May 1st that void will finally be filled when we are up close to witness the band at the Greek Theater<\/strong> in Berkeley in support of their fantastic recent album, What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

To get a feel for their fine live form, check out their performances of The Wrong Year<\/strong> <\/em>and Make You Better<\/strong><\/em> CBS This Morning: Saturday.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> For us there can be no better. Most impressive are Jenny Conlee <\/b>and John Moen<\/b> on Make You Better<\/strong> <\/em>during the last third of that performance, and the harmonies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Colin Meloy<\/strong> and his love may not be “starry-eyed anymore,” but we are while watching this performance.\u00a0 Bring on the starry eyes and make it better.\u00a0 Please.<\/p>\n

The CBS<\/strong> player is bugged and bugging so if the videos below don’t play, you can go HERE<\/strong><\/a> and HERE<\/a> to watch.<\/p>\n

Afterwards watch the same songs performed unplugged on CBC’s Studio Q<\/strong>.\u00a0 Unadorned beauty.<\/p>\n
