Following on from the previous review of "These Four Walls", I wanted to share this excellent hour-long concert video of We Were Promised Jetpacks. There is no shortage of live videos of WWPJ on Youtube, but I especially like this one camera shoot of their March 29, 2012 show in Nashville. With only minimal panning or zooming, it nicely complements the "jeans & t-shirt" lo-fi sound of the band.
The band itself is in fine form, reworking many of the songs with a different sound from the LP versions while still sounding crisp. For example, they offer a completely different and extended version of "A Half Built House", this time serving as an intro to "Keeping Warm" (starting at about 17:10). There is even a nice bit of (nearly) a capella singing at about 38:10 (I'm not sure of the song (edit: it's "Sore Thumb" from "In the Pit of the Stomach").
Thanks to palabra17 and exitin for sharing this.
