When the Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy invited a few lucky fans to join the band onstage for the last song of the night, many of Thursday's concert attendees complied, becoming musical participants. Meloy, center, was able to escape the stampeding fans unscathed once the song ended, while Hook reporter Stephanie Garcia was able to chat onstage with guitarist Chris Funk. After reminding him of his interview response, "I don't know why you should be listening to us, and I don't think I care," he laughed, "You put me on the spot, and I didn't know what to say!"
