Iron & Wine - Firefly 2014 (Coffee House)

Festival Plan: Iron & Wine is my second favorite artist playing at Firefly 2014 and it would have been crazy of me not to see him perform at the Coffee House.

20140620 7:30 PM - 8:15 PM @ The Coffee House stage:
My friends and I were able to get pretty close to the front by first coming to the American Authors performance and standing around where the benches were. After the set ended, we were able to move our way to the front, ending a row or two behind first row.


Iron & Wine is awesome and I'm really glad I decided to go see him perform at the Coffee House. While his performance at the Firefly Main Stage earlier today was also a joy to hear, his show at the Coffee House was at least ten times more precious.

Songs I Heard/Full Setlist:
The Trapeze Swinger / Track 23 on Around the Well (2009)


Flightless Bird, American Mouth / Track 12 on The Shepherd's Dog (2007)
: G C Dm F G C Dm F are the chords, but he was practically playing without the guitar, hitting just the bass note or none. He would, however, continue to make the chord changes, perhaps to keep track of either timing or place.


Boy With a Coin / Track 09 on The Shepherd's Dog (2007)
: Of all suggestions he decides to play "Boy with a Coin," a song he played earlier today.
:: I would infer that means he likes the song quite a bit.


: Haha: "Caw caw caw"
: Haha: "Imagine a solo."

Big Burned Hand / Track 08 on Kiss Each Other Clean (2011)


The Waves of Galveston /
: New song.
:: Place the occasional details in between lyrics and leave long complex patterns for between verses. 8:08PM ET
:: Sometimes the guitar can imitate the melody, calling for rapid chord/finger changes.


Upward Over the Mountain / Track 06 on The Creek Drank The Cradle (2002)
: He says he doesn't play certain suggestions because he hasn't played them in a while.
:: That certainly makes me feel better, because sometimes it takes me a while to remember my own songs.
:: Oh, I never though to just lift the middle finger of the C chord.


Naked As We Came / Track 02 on Our Endless Numbered Days (2004)
: 8:19PM ET
