Le Blogoteque-- the site behind the Arcade Fire and the National shows we featured in the past few weeks-- have just added four performances from the Shins. This set varies from the small intimacy of the Arcade Fire's elevator song, or the National's performance around a dinner table-- though it's similar to earlier "Take Away" shows. Here the Shins hit to the streets of Paris, playing for the diners sitting outside of a café. After the crowd applauds, the band moves to another cobblestone street to play for a gathering crowd. They finish in a small courtyard and then an empty room.

Part 1: "Gone for Good" and "Turn On Me"
