about

This is a single-camera live recording of our entire show in Washington D.C., Friday March 13th, 2020 at a venue called The Pocket. When we departed for the first leg of the I’m You tour a few days earlier, the news was worrisome and strange; details of the covid-19 pandemic and how it might play out in the U.S. was dominating the news and nearly every conversation you were part of, or overheard. We felt that the shows we were playing were following the CDC’s guidelines, so we hesitantly proceeded. Each morning we woke up to a new reality being presented to the world. I'll never forget driving across state lines and hearing the news on the radio announce that Mount Everest had closed. MOUNT EVEREST. A fucking mountain had closed. Uh oh. We felt increasingly conflicted about continuing with the dates we had booked. The following night after this show, in Baltimore, would be the final date of the tour, and for the foreseeable future.

The Pocket is a pretty small venue and pre-sales had us hovering right around a sell-out. But by show time, for obvious reasons, only about 15 people were there. We’ve never been the kind of band who let audience size dictate how much energy we pour into any given performance, so if we sound like we’re playing for a packed house, that’s just how we’ve always operated.

Because emotions were heightened and immediate futures were uncertain, an unusual kind of energy entered the room as soon as we started playing. As you’ll hear, the audience themselves become an integral part of the show pretty quickly, pushing us, interacting with us, heckling us, and in one instance even getting on stage with us to put their interpretation of one of our songs on trial. There are dozens of things about this show the timestamps the concert as having happened in a very specific moment—it's hilarious to me what we DON'T know yet, here—and it's a fascinating, one-of-a-kind document to have and look back on.
