Nada Surf "What Is Your Secret?" from The Weight Is a Gift Live at The Annex Madison, WI Mar 4, 2006

Two hours. Two damn hours! I don't think I've ever seen such a long headlining set at a club show. They ended with an eight-song encore -- eight! -- which really brought the house down. Both Inara George and Zach Rogue came out to do songs with them, there was a fight right next to me near the end of the set and they managed to hold the crowd in thrall through to the end of a four-hour show. Awesome.

This is one of the songs I like from The Weight Is a Gift, which I think is generally a much lesser album than Let Go. Live, they take on a surprising energy that not only sets the similar-sounding songs apart, but moves far past their three-piece nature. Good show, and highly recommended if they're coming to your town.
