I forget. So technically it was the first concert for both of us.<\/p>\n<p>They played quite a lot of songs and interacted a LOT with the audience. It was a really enjoyable concert and they played our favourite song as well. I also liked <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=deLd0ZRk5Bw\">Yankee Bayonet<\/a> a lot and it is another fav song for us now. Some other notable songs: O Valencia, On The Bus Mall, The Perfect Crime, and Sixteen Military Wives.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sikander.org\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/decemberists_toronto_01.jpg\" rel=\"[DCMB]lightbox\" title=\"The Decemberists @ The Kool Haus.
