The Shins Cover Pink Floyd's "Breathe" at L.A.'s The Greek Theatre

I was looking around YouTube for video of The Shins's Monday night performance on the Tonight Show, when I found this video instead. It's The Shins covering Pink Floyd's "Breathe", which is the first track off of their seminal, hugely popular (well, except to Neil Hamburger) Dark Side Of The Moon. Video is a little shaky (naturally), but audio is surprisingly good. The performance is from The Shins' Sunday night show at L.A.'s The Greek Theatre

The Shins's take on the Floyd classic is pretty faithful, to be sure. However, I imagine that The Shins doing a cover like this is a rare occurrence, so to me it is cool all the same.

The Shins will play tonight in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Mesa Amphitheatre. Buy tickets here
