In this special episode, we present our Second Life acoustic performance from Oct. 27th. This is the first live set in support of Long Way From Home, and the first Lovespirals Second Life performance. By the way, the folks from PodShow Island said we had 760 listeners on their audio streams in addition to the full house watching in-game, pretty crazy! Anyway, we hope you enjoy this stripped down set, recorded directly from our mixing board.
