Last night we saw Iron and Wine at Red Rocks. Actually we saw Iron, there was no Wine, but that didn’t matter. Before we left the house, I checked their setlists from previous concerts. To my great disappointment, Love and Some Verses, one of my favorite songs of all time, wasn’t on a single list, going back more than two dozen shows.
When Sam came on stage, he was jovial, and maybe more than a little high. He made the mistake of asking the audience what they wanted to hear. A few people shouted out my favorite song (myself included), and he pointed to his other guitar. "I play that one on the other guitar," he said. Hope.
Five or six songs in, a guy closer to the front than we were shouted it out again. "You've earned this," laughed Sam, who then broke into Love and Some Verses.
Night made. Happy, happy. Recorded the whole thing. Fantastic memory.
