    Too bad. Nevertheless, I really, really appreciate the two Chicago shows from last year that you posted. Never get tired of listening to them. Thanks!

    Don't know about being "still up". I listen to the downloads on my iPod.

    That link is doing the same thing; it acts as if it's going to download it for a bit and then it fails.
    Do I have to have a Hightail account for it to work?

    Just wanted to share a personal story...I entered a contest to win tickets to the 1,000th show of Once on Broadway, and Glen was to be there. I ended up winning, and brought a very special poster in hopes he might sign it. I was happy Glen came out to greet fans after the show (which was fantastic, and Glen sang two Irish folk songs with the cast after the performance!), and at the stage door, I was able to tell Glen Hansard, a hero, how his music has touched my life.

    At my lowest points, Glen is an artist I turn to for hope. I needed such hope after my dad died. A week after his death, I saw Glen at 9:30 Club, and it gave me the strength to go back to school and tackle things head on. Crazy how music can do that. Being able to tell Glen that, having him sign the poster from that meaningful show, his incredibly gracious reaction, and then engaging in small talk about mutual interests such as Pearl Jam (we talked about PJ20) was something I'll never forget. What a humble and amazing human being, and I am so grateful to have had this experience!

    For some reason, posting this picture is giving me problems, so I'm attaching a link if anyone is interested: imgur.com/cLsWM48

    Maybe, but really his shows or Frames shows always tested out new songs as well as pulling from the catalogue of previous work. Wondering whether "career-spanning" here really means anything will be different? Not that I'd want anything to be different beyond getting new songs -the shows are excellent!
