Gillian Welch & David Rawlings at the Wilbur Theater – December 13, 2011

I’ve had a good week of music. I saw Ryan Adams last Thursday, the White Owls Monday, and then Gillian Welch and David Rawlings Tuesday. It was the last show of Gillian and David’s tour, and they put on a spectacular show. I’ve never seen someone play the guitar as deliberately as Rawlings does. He closes his eyes and just dominates the fret board.

I recorded a few clips. Here’s ‘Look at Miss Ohio’:

And here’s ‘I’ll Fly Away’ from the ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’ soundtrack:
