Conor Oberst And Friends 4/18 Bowery Ballroom Full Show

The backing band in this video from left to right is: Lee Ranaldo from Sonic Youth on guitar Nancy Whang from LCD Soundsystem on keys Clark Baechle from The Faint on left drums Brian Chase from Yeah Yeah Yeahs on right drums Nikolai Fraiture from The Strokes on bass Nick Zinner from Yeah Yeah Yeahs on guitar (and as musical director) Miwi La Lupa on horns playing a Bright Eyes set with a Daniel Johnston cover and one Conor Oberst solo song. As soon as this band walked onstage it became clear this show would be the single best thing to ever happen so I felt compelled to film it all on my iPhone 13, but I didn’t actually look at my phone so the cinematography is lacking and there’s probably lots of swaying and shaking which I hope you will forgive. I left the camera zoom in .5 the entire time except to zoom in on Nancy once when she was singing the Daniel Johnston song. She otherwise is unfortunately largely obscured by Lee Ranaldo’s music stand, which I also hope you will forgive. After “Lover I Don’t Have to Love,” Conor brings his nephew onstage who makes a surprise announcement (seemingly also a surprise to Conor) that a new Bright Eyes album is out this summer.
