Their LP is really great, just recently heard it. You should give it a chance since you dug them so much live. They probably played all of it since its about 35 minutes.

Their setlist would be then
1. Life (Pt. 1)
2. Life (Pt. 2)

And as everybody has been saying that Agalloch set is tits...

But yeah, that Agalloch set was phenomenal. I really did not expect them to have an encore, let alone TWO. I might be wrong but I think they played Hallways of Enchanted Ebony a little later in the set. But I do remember the crowd going nuts when they started playing it. That was awesome.

Honestly I'm expecting Taurus to be the most boring thing since the last Agalloch opener.

Does anyone remember if Agalloch played "In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion" with the slow "I walked down to a river..." part, or if they sped it up like on the last tour?

Thanks for this report! I am going tonight and was really wondering about the merch. i was hoping they had more vinyl to choose from, but I'll definitely be grabbing Faustian Echoes and a shirt

Their other vinyl releases are sold out and go for big money online unfortunately.

cool review. Love the photos too!

I know here in VA that they will be doing an afternoon show and will be ending early for a hip hop show that same night :/
(says 5- 9PM on the website)

Sounds like a pretty cool time

That's disappointing, it's one of my favorite Agalloch moments.

Weird, I remember them doing it one of the times I saw them...

Seriously, fuck you guys. Agalloch is great music to chill out, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. Being a goddamn inconsiderate nuisance to the people around you trying to absorb the music makes you a dick. Don't hit me in the face every beat with your dirty smelly hair. Save that for a death metal show. Fuck. Sorry for the rant, but it came close to ruining the night for me.

settle down bud, its a metal show, people headbang, get over it
