Laura Marling San Francisco Oct 3, 2012 with the long opening medley from her upcoming album

This is the opening song of Laura's recent stop in SF. This is another New Song and a very long one, @ 13 + minutes. I am unfamiliar with it. Online, I saw a set list that said it was "I Was an Eagle" but this song does not match other UTube vids of a song by that title. I've since learned (thanks to ilovemarling) that this is a version of a medley that will open her new album (set for Feb. 2013 release). That makes this even more exciting. The first time I saw Laura live was at this venue, The Swedish American Hall in San Francisco, 2 years 8 months ago. Since that concert, I've been lucky enough to see Laura another 7 times. I've seen her playing solo 2 other concerts. Of the 3 solo efforts I've seen her perform this is the most accomplished. Her singing, playing and stage presence are all more accomplished than her other concerts. This "Working Holiday Tour", was a most pleasant surprise. It was/is a marvelous performance by an Artist who continues to gain confidence in all facets of live performance. Enjoy!
