The last time I saw Glen Hansard perform was at the Auckland Town Hall when, after a stupidly early curfew and classic PA plug-pull by the organisers, he proceeded to lead his band around the room performing acoustically, full-gusto, horn section and all, for a good half an hour more. I saw him perform again this week, and he delivered another soul-lifting performance - complete with a specialist theramin player! - to establish himself as one of my all-time favourite live performers. Magic.

I cannot imagine Fred Durst doing this on Sunday. Sounds magical!
