just got back from Portland and Seattle and the agalloch shows. absolutely amazing. the PNW is such a cool place, I'm sad I couldn't stay longer to check out the area. Met The entire band in seattle, talked with John Haughm for hours. Such a cool guy.
The seattle show was great, got some pictures/videos but my camera ran out of space after the second song. The opening act(one of them) Grayceon, was absolutely amazing. The cellist/singer, Jackie was so sweet. she offered me a ride from Seattle to portland for the next show. Talked with some roaides and such and talked with John and his girlfriend Veleda(she does all the photography for agalloch) for an hour or so after the show.
made it to portland a bit late, but caught the majority of Grayceon's amazing set, Red sparrowes were great, then agalloch went on, got the whole show on video. watched red sparrowes and grayceon with with John and Veleda. Talked with John again after the show, Jason and Don and Aesop as well. great folks, all of them They couldn't have made the trip better.
John brought me a copy of the Mantle 2xLP at the portland show. Don put one copy of pale folklore on vinyl at the seattle show at the merch booth but I was a second late to buy it. usually sells for $2-400 on ebay. same with the mantle LP. I got the ashes against the grain LP at the seattle show and everyone signed it. They signed the mantle LP too. John dedicated the first ever performance of I Am The Wooden Doors(off the mantle) to me for coming out from philly just to see Agalloch. also the first time they've ever played not unlike the waves live. spent the remainder of the time in portland traveling around seeing NE portland and downtown. didn't get to check out SE which I'd have liked to.
pics and videos to come soon.
most of my pics from the show didn't come out too well, but I have two songs from seattle and the entire set from portland on video.

cool, i,d love to see them live, nice that their approachable people,looking around for their latest ep, probably would have to order it,looks like typical portland weather ey "the snow has fallen and graced this white mountain" love that verse what is the name of that song where it has some guy in the begining talking about gunshots in detroit and has some real cool acoustic guitar work, i think it is off an ep

the set( both nights) goes as follows: limbs falling snow as embers dress the sky dead winter days i am the wooden doors in the shadow of our pale companion not unlike the waves our fortress is burning pt II: bloodbirds
there were bits of a celebration for the death of man thrown itnto in the shadow of our pale companion, some other stuff in another song or two also I think. video for portland show is awesome. it'll be on repeat for a while. whole show is about 1h21m.
