We at the filmmaker house would like to send a shout out to a lucky friend: our great professor Mr. Beam, aka Iron and Wine. We went to his LA concert a week or so ago and OH MY GOD was it HUGE.
All my Miami friends will remember the little boheme hovel Churchills Bar on N. Miami Ave where Beam used to perform to a small smoking crowd of drunks and students. Well- THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE. I took this picture from the balcony of the Wiltern(?) theatre in West Hollywood- a $30 ticket that got me about as close as the poor dead moth sitting on the ground in row #500.
No- I do not have a picture of that.
And THE FANS. OMG. Hundreds of people grooving around us to songs that WE helped make music videos to. ADORING FANS.
Wild. Two groups preceded Beam, Calexico and someone else. They were pretty good but the moment Beam stepped onto the theatre I could hear nothing but the deafening roar of the multitude.
Go Mr. Beam!
