Guster at the Met

So on Friday I went to this concert type event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was in conjunction with Jon Sarkin (artist they've been working with for album art and videos).  After a stroke, he went from shy chiropractor to obsessive artist.

It started out with some awkward slideshow with museum curators discussing seemingly irrelevant music art. Then after some more Q&A they finally went into their set.  Guster is the only band that I've seen in the double digits and this shorter show gave me something new to chew on.  Highlights include some new arrangements with a violin and cello and thankfully they threw in a decent amount of older tunes.

Here's their encore. Pure, unplugged, no microphones music. It's always nice to see a band in a smaller venue like this.  The guy on the left is Jon Sarkin.
