Eels with Strings - Live at Town Hall
You never know what you'll get when you attend an Eels concert. One year it's vocoders and synthesizers, the next it's gritty garage rock. Cut to 2005: Eels leader Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, releases the highly acclaimed Blinking Lights and Other Revelations double album and assembles his most ambitious version of the EELS yet: a seven piece band consisting of Everett backed by a string quartet and two multi-instrumentalists juggling lap steel, guitar, upright bass, mandolin, saw, melodica, celeste, pump organ, piano, and a trash can and suitcase drum set. Having brought this elaborate show to Boston the night before, can the Eels get to New York, play Late Night with David Letterman, and perform their concert at the legendary Town Hall, which is being filmed for a concert film -- all with grace under incredible pressure? The answer is yes, and the proof is here!Now you can have the best seat in the house. Enjoy 28 songs from all phases of the Eels' ten year career, along with great songs by other artists as interpreted by Eels with strings, and rare backstage and behind the scenes footage of life on the road with Eels. No tickets, no parking hassles, no drunk guy blocking your view. Just the spine-tingling performance of Eels with strings, Live at Town Hall!FEATURED SONGS: Going To Your Funeral part 2 - Dust of Ages - In The Yard, Behind The Church - Bride of Theme From Blinking Lights - A Magic World - Son of a Bitch - Blinking Lights (For Me) - Dirty Girl - My Beloved Monster - The Only Thing I Care About - Bus Stop Boxer - Pretty Ballerina - I Like Birds - Girl From The North Country - Railroad Man - Trouble With Dreams - If You See Natalie - I'm Going To Stop Pretending That I Didn't Break Your Heart - Dead of Winter - Flyswatter - Novocaine For The Soul - Losing Streak - The Stars Shine In The Sky Tonight - Souljacker Part 2 - Hey Man (Now You're Really Living) - Things The Grandchildren Should Know - Dog Faced Boy - Mr. E's Beautiful Blues
