I saw Counting Crows last year. Adam was cranky about the venue.

Its so good, and the sound is fantastic. And the way they set it up with the city when it was built is that you have to have the 'park' open for pedestrians - which means there is a pathway around the outside, and you get great sight lines for free from the outside.

I bought Avril Lavigne tickets ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I was a minute too late on some Green Day/smashing Pumpkins tix.

I used to be banned from the Counting Crows FB page because I would tell Adam that bald is beautiful and to ditch the wig.

Saw my fave last night. It had been over five calendar years since I last (and also the first time) saw Julia perform in a live setting. Memorable like before.
Discovery Zone
I've also seen her before; two years ago as the opener for Jenny Hval. Synthpop with very Grimes-esque influence. She was equally as eclectic here, but didn't have a surprise saxophone guest this go around. A crowd started to form at the front even though I was seated front row. No way was I going to have an obstructed view for Julia's performance, so I got up from my seat to be a few feet from the stage after Discovery Zone finished.
Julia Holter
She played for a healthy ~80min including encore. A bit shorter than her previous stop here during the Aviary tour; fully expected and understandable as 6min is the average song length on that gargantuan masterpiece.
She played 70% of the selections from this year's Something in the Room She Moves, a handful from N&G favorite Have You in My Wilderness, and one each from Ekstasis, Aviary, and (my personal favorite) Loud City Song.
Sensational. I will leave it at that.
That is all, that is all, there is nothing else
She played a Loud City Song song like I was hoping for! The whimsical "In the Green Wild" below:
Encore of "Materia" and GOATed art pop ballad "Betsy on the Roof" was breathtaking. Even her cute out of tune vocal at the beginning was endearing

Post-Show
I forgot my permanent markers in my car and almost wanted to shout obscenities out loud, worried I wouldn't get my remaining unsigned Julia records signed afterwards.
Spoke to Julia (purposely put myself last in line, lol) for a few minutes after the merch line cleared up. I was still a nervous wreck speaking to her; she's literally my fave. Her merch was slightly disappointing...although she had all of her records on CD and five of the seven on LP, there were no new tees or any tour specific items. I already had the same T-shirt design from the Aviary tour five years ago. Didn't end up purchasing anything. I did however get my Tragedy, Ekstasis, In the Same Room, and Something in the Room She Moves LPs inked; she had gold and silver pens at the ready.
I hope it won't be another five years before she stops by Portland again. I missed her so so so so so much and the anticipation of seeing her perform again had me on a high. The wait was all worth it though.
PERFECT. AS
ALL THINGS SHOULD BE

Andy Shauf playing Father Luke's Room (capacity < 100) at the Old St. Francis School in Bend, OR. Unbelievably good set of live music.
