Chillin' with Lovespirals: Live in Second Life
In this special episode, we present our Second Life acoustic performance from Oct. 27th. This was recorded directly from the mixer so there’s no ambient sounds like the water — or the laughing fish that resides near the stage we played. If you have no idea what I’m taking about, check out the video capture of “Walk Away” on YouTube. This is the first live set in support of Long Way From Home, and the first Lovespirals Second Life performance. By the way, the folks from PodShow Island said we had 760 listeners on their audio streams in addition to the full house watching in-game, pretty crazy! We hope you enjoy this stripped down set.
UPDATE: In addition to the live listeners, this episode has now had over 15,000 downloads/streams!
Setlist :
- “Our Nights” from Windblown Kiss (2002)
- “Walk Away” from Free & Easy (2005)
