The Hold Steady Teeth Dreams [Live on King Street, 9/28/12]

jcfrank2 on the Unified Scene message board is a hero for uploading audio of the entire set at the Majestic Theater in Madison last weekend. These are the first high quality live recordings of Teeth Dreams and Wait Awhile.

So. I haven’t been as much of a passionate hold steady fan lately as I’ve been in the past. I haven’t even seen them since January 2011 which seems…so long ago, given how frequently I used to go. I haven’t even logged onto the boards in at least a year. Maybe longer. I digress. I could say a lot about THS & my relationship with the band and its music, but for now, i’m just going to say:

I like this. A lot. a lot a lot a lot. It’s sad and melodic and feels older. I have this feeling that the upcoming album from them will be their last, and I’m all right with that. This feels full circle to me. Anyway! tldr!
