pls tell me about the NMH show what was the experience like did you cry i would have bawled

I’d seen them once before, and that time I cried right from the start when he began with Two Headed Boy, alone on stage in the spotlight, and that weakened me for the rest of it too. This time was different though. The venue was really tiny and intimate, I was right at the front, like two metres from Jeff maybe, and the crowd was SO into it, everyone knew every single word and was screaming along, screaming their hearts out (as was I), and it was much more intense, which made it feel more real, you know? All I could do was take it all in. I didn’t start crying until encore, he came out with Two Headed Boy pt 2 and finished with Engine and then I got outside and had to sit down and continue to sob for probably ten minutes as my friend patted my back and told me it was gonna be ok. 

The show itself was incredible though - so much fun in songs like King of Carrot Flowers pt 3 and Holland 1945, because everyone just loses their shit, but the thing with their upbeat songs is that as fun as they are, the lyrics are often pretty dark and/or serious, so the fun you’re having feels more significant because they’re making you appreciate LIFE. The stand out though was, without a doubt, Oh Comely. Watching that song performed live is like a religious experience. Eight minutes of musical and lyrical genius. Oh god.

The band was amazing and so real, each and every one of them. I loved the large brass guy with a hefty white neckbeard, who when he wasn’t playing sang along with Jeff furiously, every word, metres away from any microphone. He just loved the songs that much, it didn’t matter that he wasn’t being heard. Also the bassist/accordionist/musical saw player who juggled instruments all over the place, that guy was fucking incredible. And Jeff. Jeff, sweet angel, only addressed the crowd once, at the very end - he said thank you before he walked offstage. After each song he would smile and give a big nod to the crowd, touch his fist to his chest or place his palms together in some sort of gesture of gratitude, but not speak. His whole presence between songs was very distant, as was the way he presented himself: long thick hair and beard, big jacket, and a cap. They asked for no photography during the show but you could barely see his face anyway. But when he sang it was so honest and real and raw that it didn’t matter. You felt like he was naked up there. He was dripping with sweat and his voice would crack and he would open his mouth as wide as it would go, on those notes that seem to go on forever. It was incredible. He is such an unbelievable artist, in the most complete meaning of the word. And then after we got a tram back into the centre of Prague, we had to walk across Charles Bridge on this warm summer night, with the lights of the city ahead of us reflected in the river, and the glowing beacon of the castle on the hill behind us, people in little groups all over the place, happily drunk, laughing, singing, playing guitar, and then on through the yellow lit cobblestone streets all the way back to our hostel, where I quickly passed out because emotional rollercoaster. Fuck.
