YEASAYER at Pitchfork Festival...



Did anyone catch this show? The sun finally came out at the end of Sunrise!!! Thanks to everyone who came to the mini-tour with Ponytail!

  1. Yes, that was very good timing. The rain during waves was pleasant as well. Great show! The best quote of the show was when they introduced the new drummers and a guy yelled out "Great assets to your live band, both of them."

  2. Thanks for using my video! I had been looking forward to the Yeasayer show of Pitchfork for months, and they exceeded my insanely high expectations! I'll try to take better videos for everyone next time, but I think this one captured the aural bliss of "Sunrise" + Downtown Chicago + the actual sun rising!

  3. Incredible show, I saw you guys at lollapalooza in 08 and was psyched on the band. I've never heard anything like it. When I saw you guys again at Pitchfork my mind was blown off right again, so much energy, and the weather could not have been more perfect, even the rain was perfect. Can't wait for next time you guys come around Chicago, make it soon!
