San Diego Street Scene August 5th 2006 (audio)

"Thank you very much for listening to our band, we're called Editors" - Tom after Open Your Arms

Another show from the United States now, as we get a chance to hear Editors' set when they played the San Diego "Street Scene" festival in August of 2006. I noticed while I was listening back to this the little beauty, subtle changes that were becoming the norm; things like Munich going for 2 verses before it hits the chorus, instead of only one on the recorded version. Also, You Are Fading was starting to get a bit longer in length, which is great because they could play that song for about 50 minutes and it would still sound amazing (but then I would say that, wouldn't I?). Someone Says has the extended intro and when it starts properly it just slides like Bambi on ice. Fantastic. I'm just looking at the lineup for Street Scene and if they gained nothing else from this show, they can proudly boast that they shared a bill with Queens of the Stone Age, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wu-Tang Clan and Snoop Dogg. Quality! For all you completists, here's who else was there:-

Tool, Kanye West, A.F.I., Snoop Dogg, Social Distortion, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wu-Tang Clan, Queens of the Stone Age, Sean Paul, Bad Religion, Bloc Party, Yellowcard, The Shins, Wolfmother, G. Love & Special Sauce, Steel Pulse, Donavon Frankenreiter, Slightly Stoopid, She Wants Revenge, Matchbook Romance, Rock Kills Kid, Particle, Nine Black Alps, New York Dolls, The Subways, Editors, Ska Cubano, Van Stone, and The Futureheads.

As a little bonus, there's an interview with Andy from Latitude32SD included here. It's mostly about how the band got started, and there's also a bit of shameless celebrity name-dropping  too. Enjoy the music ;)
