Now that’s what I call a perfect gig experience. Fleet Foxes were magnificent. Been waiting almost a decade to see and hear them play “Drops In the River”, and “Helplessness Blues” remains my number one Fleet Foxes jam, especially since I now seem to be going through the kind of existential crisis that Robin Pecknold sings about in the song. Didn’t get to the point of ugly crying but I was definitely feeling it!

And though their vocal blend has lost Josh Tillman’s voice after he decided to reinvent himself as Father John Misty, former Walkman drummer Matt Barrick more than makes up for it with his fantastic playing that perfectly anchors the intricate arrangements of the new songs.

Managed to meet the band afterwards as they were leaving the venue, which required a bit more effort from me since I’ve become an average concert goer. Would’ve got better photos with Skyler Skjelset, Christian Wargo and Casey Wescott if security weren’t being such dicks even though the band were happy to oblige some fans. At least I got them to sign my stuff and compliment Matt on his excellent drumming.

Fortunately most of security had gone when Robin and Morgan Henderson showed up. Both were total sweethearts, and they seemed sincerely happy to meet a bunch of crazy Indonesians who has flown in for the show. I hope they can bring the tour to us soon.

Special shout-outs to Casey for making the time to chat with me while he was watching The Impatient Sisters open for Fleet Foxes, and to FOH guy Jake McLaughlin for being a swell dude. If you were at Laneway Festival 2016 you might have seen him doing the monitors for Beach House, who also had Skyler on guitar. And special thanks to Satria Ramadhan for the impromptu meet and greet photos.

And now my gig bar for 2018 has been set pretty high by Fleet Foxes. Let’s see if anyone else can come close. The year has just begun…

Here's a playlist of the songs from the setlist if you want to try recreating the magic.
