The Shins @ The Santa Barbara Bowl – October 6, 2007
Note to self: although the Santa Barbara Bowl’s site says quite clearly that there are no cameras allowed, security doesn’t seem to care about such things.
The Shins did a great job on Saturday, and we enjoyed ourselves despite bad seats. I can’t track down a set list anywhere, unfortunately, but they did play all their big favorites (Caring Is Creepy and New Slang got the most cheers, of course) and they played the two I wanted to hear: Sea Legs and Phantom Limb. The show-stopper, though, was during their encore: they pulled off an amazing rendition of Pink Floyd’s Breathe that made the crowd go insane.
If anyone ever doubts that The Shins have the talent to prove their worth beyond their run-of-the-mill indie pop, go see them live.
