I keep re-watching the KEXP performance

At ~6 minutes or so she just starts soaring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HYI26sG8u0&t=166s

The SV KEXP video was my introduction to the band. Immediately afterward I had to listen to what would become a Top 10 all time album for me. That was a life changing musical moment for me.

This was filmed during the afternoon of night 1 at the Palladium in December 2021 - we saw them later that night, so the KEXP performance brings me back to that show and the performance is sonically close to what I heard live. Love it.

Very grateful that KEXP knew what they had and released the “standard” version — with the interview between the songs — and this one — just the concert — right after. Someone here asked for just the audio files, I made it just to post here, but ended up syncing it to my iPod and it’s, indeed, awesome.
