i’m gonna be honest i did not start my day expecting to see lin manuel miranda at the decemberists concert but i am not disappointed!

[@herrmiksits]

If you get a chance to listen to Lin Manuel Miranda’s interview on Desert Island Discs he speaks about how he’s a huge Decemberists fan and at the height of the Hamilton craze he listened constantly to The Crane Wife album to help him get through it all!

Lin and Colin should make a musical based on Mariner’s Revenge Song. Everytime I listen to it I think about how cool an entire musical would be.

This was an incredible show. Had no idea Lin Manuel was going to pop out. The joy you hear from the crowd was real. It had rained and it was oppressively humid - this cameo was such a treat.

[@andrewborofsky3723]

I got tickets to see them in 2 weeks fuckin ecstatic!

[@aslawrence]

when he hit that opening chord and the crowd went nuts
I gasped and immediately burst into tears

[@wildcard126]

Hearing Lin sing this song in any capacity fulfills so many of my desires.

Part way through this I realized I was standing at the computer grinning as widely as my face would allow. Joyful!

[@jasonbrandt5504]

I was there. Incredible surprise. The crowd literally went nuts. And LMM incredible performer. looks like such a great guy too. I saw them @ radio city years ago and Peter Buck from REM showed up. Decemberists a Great band everyone should know about- so creative and talented players. Colin an incredible lyricist and very funny.

This is a beautiful symmetry of my interests. I cried (slightly) with joy.

It’s funny how Collin looks like Ben Franklin with the glasses and build.

[@andrewborofsky3723]

There is nothing vulgar in this song, it is not being used in a vulgar context!
