After seeing an excellent electric show with the Delgados on Thursday night, they now arrive for an afternoon acoustic in-store set at Amoeba records in Hollywood. They arrived a little late, but not a moment too soon. A star studded audience was at hand, even Haley Joe Osment (yes, that guy from the Sixth Sense) and his little friends were there.
So, the Delgados arrived a little after 2:15pm and they took around 20 minutes to set up. It was Alun and Emma doing an acoustic set along with two other members, one a cellist and another with a violin. Talkative Stewart was amongst the crowd and the other roadies, cheering on Alun and Emma.
It was a very excellent in-store. Despite only 5 or 6 songs, they played a fantastic set and the string section was a perfect compliment to the acoustic guitar. From what I remember, they played 2-3 songs from Universal Audio, 1 from Hate, and another from Great Eastern. Sorry I can't remember the exact songs.
Afterwards, they signed autographs. My partner in crime, Elaine, brought all her album booklets and each member was nice enough to sign each and every one of them. I wasn't there to witness this event (since I was putting quarters in the meter), but Elaine tells me that they were all very nice and Stewart said that she has more Delgados albums than he does!
Great acoustic show. Thank Haley Joe for making it a perfect rating.
