Watch The Sky (Acoustic) - Andrew McMahon *please read full info*
Live at Fowlers Live for An Evening With Andrew McMahon in Adelaide, Australia. February 15th 2011.
"So, like I said, we've been out here a few nights, and there have been a handful of people who have been travelling for a lot of the shows, and this was a, uhh, this was a last minute request, that I-I approached in a very last minute way, so, when I-when I fuck it up, just l-leave it with me. It's called Watch the Sky."
This song was requested by me when I met Andrew before the show. It has and always will be my favourite song in the entire world. As for the comment about travelling, I live in Perth (Western Australia) and there was no Perth leg on this tour. I ended up flying interstate to the Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide shows and had flown a total of 4669km (2901 miles) by the time of this recording (not including the 2138km flight back home the next day). I know that Andrew doesn't usually do requests, so the fact that he continuously rehearsed this song during soundcheck for me is unbelievably surreal. He actually crossed off 21 And Invincible on the original setlist and added in Watch The Sky (see here: http://tinyurl.com/adelaidesetlist ).
I have also never heard Andrew play this song acoustic at any other show (please let me know if this is the first, or if there is another).
This recording is very personal to me - Feel free to share it around, but please don't rip it yourself and then post it without a credit link. I want this story to stay with the video to let people know that dreams really do come true.
- I hope you enjoy it. xo
