the Mountain Goats - Live Archive Vol. 1: Going to Princeton 10/20/24

"Jon and Matt rolled on from Chicago in the bus but I stayed behind because there was a chance to see my favorite band in the world: Souled American. For two nights I watched them make magic in a small room, in the company of others like me, people who'd been waiting and hoping for a long time. The morning after Souled American's second show I went from hotel to cab to airport to a train that took me to the McCarter Theatre. There were pictures of all the people who'd played there in years past on the walls backstage. Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheny, Cassandra Wilson. These are heroes of mine. We always try to be conscious of who's stood on a stage before we got there and to carry it forward a little. It was a special night in New Jersey."
