A year ago, I took Kristen to see the movie Once on it's opening weekend, because it starred Glen Hansard, lead singer of The Frames, a band that she unequivocally worships. It was a wonderful little movie that contained some wonderful music, and it did really well for a tiny little independent Irish movie. Later that year, it started gaining steam as an award contender, getting nominated for a couple Grammys, winning Best Foreign Film at The Independent Spirit Awards, and culminated with a Best Music Oscar win for Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. Truly, an "out of nowhere" movie if there ever was one.
Soon after their Oscar win, they announced a tour in support of the film and the music within it, and lo & behold they had a Madison date. Of course Kristen and I went, and it was a spectacular show.
This upload is that concert. Highlights for me were "Seven Day Mile", Glen's completely unplugged version of "Say It To Me Now", and their beautifully layered climax "Fitzcarraldo." Enjoy.
P.S. If anyone wants the actual soundtrack to Once, just leave a comment. Also, I uploaded the original .zip file I got, instead of archiving it myself. Let me know if there's any problems with downloading it.
P.P.S. I noticed some of you are uploading stuff but not blogging about it. C'mon, let us know it's out there! I don't open the drive unless I see something on the blog about it.
