As the frontman for ‘90s lo-fi act Neutral Milk Hotel, Mangum helped pave the way for future greats like Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, and Beirut, to name a few.
After a pleasant, relaxing, warm bath of a set from The Tall Firs, Mangum shambled unassumingly onto the stage, clad in a hat that shaded his eyes from view and an impressive beard.
By and large classic-lineup and landmark-album-specific tours can be seen an opportunity for musicians to reinsert themselves into the ongoing relationship that listeners have with recordings.
