Words like incredible, brilliant, stunning, jaw-dropping, amazing, outstanding, astonishing, and extraordinary get thrown around in concert reviews quite often. As a result, it makes capturing the scene that took place at the New York’s Beacon Theatre on Sunday night (Nov. 8th) particularly difficult. After all, these words only scratch the surface when describing the three-hour, 38-song performance the supergroup collective known as Monsters of Folk would deliver that evening. We’re talking about a nominee for concert of 2009, people!

Below, you’ll find photos of Sunday night’s action, courtesy of Jeremy Gorden, The Waster, and Erina Uemura.
