I found a set of bootlegs from Robin Pecknold’s (Lead singer of Fleet Foxes people!!!) opening set for Joanna Newsome at Seattle’s The Moore Theater on August 4th. He played a whole set of new songs that may or may not be for Fleet Foxes.
I picked out a few of my favorites to share with you guys. They are quite good. If these are songs for Fleet Foxes LP2, then it’s going to be quite a follow up. (I think “Blue Spotted Tail” & “Helplessness Blues” will be Fleet Foxes songs). Some of these songs have made the rounds as live video’s but you may have missed them.
Robin is absolutely flawless live. Damn.
[mp3]: Robin Pecknold – Blue Spotted Tail Lorelai (Live At The Moore Theater) (Someone in the comments gave me the heads up that the song is actually called Lorelai.
[mp3]: Robin Pecknold – Helplessness Blues (Live At The Moore Theater)
[mp3]: Robin Pecknold – Look Up, Look Down That Lonesome Road (Live At The Moore Theater)
Here is a Fleet Foxes goody that he performed as well:
[mp3]: Robin Pecknold – Tiger Mountain Peasant Song (Live At The Moore Theater)
Update: Credit to Jackson Barnes for recording it!

Oh wow thats what they had listed it as. Thanks for the heads up guys!

“Look Up, Look Down That Lonesome Road” is a cover of a John Jacob Niles song (which is itself a traditional folk tune).

if these are fleet foxes songs, i can’t wait to hear them with the rest of the band. just imagine those harmonies.
i think “Look Up, Look Down That Lonesome Road” is a traditional song. of course robin does it in his own awesome way.
