DESCRIPTION:
Thee Oh Sees
2013-12-18
Coalition On Homelessness Benefit
San Francisco, CA

Recorded with my Cisco-(ruined) "Flip" and my iPhone 5, synchronized with my audio recording, done with a Sony ECM-MS907 plugged into a Olympus LS-5.

Last show for a while, as the band has announced they're taking a (well-deserved) break, but will release another album in early-2014.

Final song "Dreadful Heart" courtesy of y3llophant (http://www.youtube.com/user/y3llophant)

The original version is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3d0YCpSVbM

As I've noted in every other video I've put up of Thee Oh Sees, this is but a pale substitute for seeing them in the flesh. As they're taking a long break, it may be a while before the chance arises again. If for some reason it doesn't, I count myself blessed to have caught them the thirteen times that I did, so this is dedicated to anybody not able to make it.
