This was a beautiful concert all around. DeVotchka played a wonderfully exciting set (including a cover of Velvet Underground's "Venus in Furs"). The Spiegelworld tent was a great venue to see this multi-instrumental band and hear their Eastern European tinged sounds. Whether substituting the sousaphone for a stand up bass, switching between accordion and violin, drums to trumpet, or adding a cello, viola and second violin to the mix, this band sounded just wonderfully pure and invigorating. In addition to the great variations of sounds, a acrobat performed above the center of the tent. It was an added bonus to an already excellent event (as was talking to members of the band after the show).
