  • The Decemberists play a new unreleased song called "William Fitzwilliam" live in concert at The Mountain Winery in Saratoga, California on August 8, 2022. This was another one of the new songs the band is "road testing" before releasing; here Chris Funk missed the entrance for his guitar solo and Jenny Conlee had to jump in. Colin Meloy debuted William Fitzwilliam in April 2020 during a solo livestream for KEXP, but this is one of the first times the band has played it together live.
    The Decemberists are an indie rock band from Portland, Oregon consisting of Colin Meloy (lead vocals & guitar), Jenny Conlee (keyboards & accordion), Chris Funk (guitar), Nate Query (bass), and John Moen (drums). Joining them on tour is Lizzie Ellison (backing vocals).

    The Decemberists official bio:
    For 20 years The Decemberists have been one of the most original, daring, and thrilling American rock bands. Founded in the year 2000 when singer, songwriter, and guitarist Colin Meloy moved from Montana to Portland, Oregon and met bassist Nate Query, keyboardist Jenny Conlee, and guitarist Chris Funk, The Decemberists’ distinctive brand of hyperliterate folk-rock set them apart from the start with the release of their debut EP 5 Songs in 2001. After making their full-length debut with Castaways and Cutouts in 2002, the band signed with Kill Rock Stars for the release of the acclaimed albums Her Majesty the Decemberists (2003) and Picaresque (2005), which was produced by Chris Walla. The 2004 EP The Tain - an 18-minute single-track epic - made the band’s grand creative ambitions clear.
    Around this time the band’s permanent line-up fell into place with the arrival of drummer John Moen, and they made the unexpected leap to Capitol Records for their first major label album in 2006. Fans’ concerns of whether the band would alter their trademark sound quickly vanished when they delivered their most ambitious and audacious record to date in The Crane Wife, a song cycle produced by Walla and Tucker Martine (who would become a longtime creative partner) that added elements of ‘70s prog, hard rock and even quasi-disco to their palette. The album was met by wide acclaim from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN, Stereogum, and was named Best New Music by Pitchfork.
    Three years later, The Hazards of Love - a full-length concept album based on Meloy’s idea for a stage musical - was a Top 20 hit. In 2011, they topped themselves yet again with their first #1 album, The King Is Dead, which featured the Grammy-nominated song “Down By The Water.” After their 2015 album What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World, which included the #1 AAA radio hit “Make You Better,” The Decemberists changed up their sound and explored new approaches to making music on their eighth studio album I’ll Be Your Girl (2018) with producer John Congleton. NPR Music wrote “Every band needs to refresh and reconsider its sound sooner or later, no matter how sharp it's gotten over the course of a long career - even The Decemberists, a band whose records have always come bursting with verve... I'll Be Your Girl captures a collaborative spirit that keeps the band sounding vibrant and alive.”
    Over the past 20 years The Decemberists have toured the world, performed at countless major festivals, and even founded Travelers’ Rest a festival of their own curation in Missoula, Montana. The band has appeared on The Simpsons, collaborated with Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda, and released their own crowd-funded board game Illimat.

    I was so excited to hear this in Chicago. Been waiting to hear it performed again after Colin premiered it like a year ago on a livestream. They also had a different new song, “Black Mariah” but they didn’t play that at my show, so I haven’t heard it yet. I’m so excited for the next album, although Colin said that they aren’t currently working on a new album. 😓 Hopefully he just said that so we don’t get our hopes up or so they have plenty of time to put things together.

      And now the album is officially around the corner. Can't wait.

      But they were working on a new album and it's coming out in 2 weeks. It's weird that Colin said they weren't.

    Aww, they didn't do this one in Boston! I just saw them last night, it was fantastic.

    It's going to be on As it Ever Was, So it Will Be Again, which comes out in June. This is good. I can't wait to hear this and other new songs for myself when I see them in May.

      Just saw them in Boston. They played All I Want is You, Burial Ground, Long White Veil, Oh No, and Joan in the Garden

      @@AliceClow and thanks to the magic of youtube and uploaders just like this one, I have already heard all of those songs (the show I am seeing will be 2 days after I made this reply and 2 weeks after my initial comment) so I'll be singing along at the show while the people around me will be wondering how I know the lyrics.
      The weird thing about "Oh No" is that there is a song of that title on Colin Meloy's youtube page, but it's completely different than the "Oh No" song that they've been playing on this tour that's showing up on fan youtube pages.

      @@AliceClow update: at the D.C. show, they played William Fitzwilliam and not All I Want is You. In fact, the first 3 songs were William Fitzwilliam, Shankill Butchers, and The Bachelor and the Bride. I thought that was an odd way to open because most bands like to open with loud fast songs to get the audience pumped up, but it's 3 really good songs so I'm not complaining. And, All I Want is You is one of my bottom 5 Decemberists songs so I consider it a pleasant surprise that they did not play it in D.C. I guess I got lucky. They also played The Queen's Rebuke, which was the pleasant surprise of the show. That's not an easy song to sing: that new woman is incredibly talented. When that song, ended, they segued right into The Crane Wife 3... Colin said they botched the transition because it was their first time doing it, but the transition sounded perfect to me (if he hadn't said anything, I never would have guessed it was "botched"). He did botch 16 Military Wives somehow, I never expected him to botch a song he's been singing for 20 years, but in a way that actually made the show even better because it made him seem human. They also did the Sporting Life which I wasn't expecting, and Colin even talked about it (I used to be unsure whether or not it was a true story. Colin said it was.) They played Don't Carry it All, which was a nice surprise. They played Cavalry Captain and A Beginning Song, which were nice surprises. They did not play O Valencia, The Rake's Song, or Make You Better, which was surprising but they've done those songs at virtually every show since they came out so I can't exactly say that I had a strong desire to hear them again. They played all of those other new songs that you mentioned. They ended with Joan in the Garden: we thought it was odd they ended with a new song but I think it was the perfect song to end with.
      Anyway, it was the best show I have sever seen, except for maybe when I saw them in 2018. I loved the I'll Be Your Girl album (except the title song) and I enjoyed hearing those songs live. At the 2018 show, they also did The Mariner's Revenge Song, which is my favorite song ever and that version of it was even better. They also did Sons and Daughters, one of my all-time favorite songs and it's even better live. And they did Rox in the Box with a snippet of another mining song that I didn't know (apparently it was part of some other project that the Decemberists were a part of). And they did The Bagman's Gambit, a song that they usually play in D.C. because it mentions The National Mall. Colin said he didn't even knew if there were bathroom stalls on the National Mall but we told him there were.
      Anyway, it's always a great show. And the new album is going to be a heck of an album

      Not even close. It's a country waltz that sounds like a country waltz. "Sad Songs and Waltzes" and "Could I have this Dance" both come to mind as both are in 3/4 and share the same key.

      You were spot on with the Kenny Rogers reference, but not quite the right song. The verse actually sounds like the verse of The Gambler.
