🇦🇹 🎸 🎤 In 2008, this was the first day of the last European tour of the band’s career, starting in Salzburg at the Frequency Festival, touring quite a lot of favorite places and some new ones, and ending two months later in the old Olympic stadium in Athens, Greece. The hillside setting outside Salzburg was quite memorable, as was the set by @travistheband and a great hang with them afterwards back at the hotel. Lovely guys, great band, and still going strong with a new album (L.A. Times) and shows coming later this year.
