Rainingvodka (whom I met at this show and is a stand-up gentleman) has generously put up his recording on DIME, which you can grab if you're a member there: 
    (24 bit version)  
    (16 bit version)

A complete video can also be viewed on YouTube.  Shot mostly with my iPhone4, except for 'Whirring', which was done with the Flip Video, and 'Cradle', which features our sources blended in with the above rainingvodka recording, the audio files I have linked are more complete than on the video version since it includes the bits between song there's no video bits for.

I make no warranty that the blended recording is any better than any of the recordings separately, especially since some slight synchronization discrepancies may have been introduced (I can't be a fair judge, as I'm pretty intimately involved with its production), though I really do believe it sounds absolutely stunning.

The Joy Formidable put on a stellar effort for their second show in San Francisco, the first being last year's Popscene effort.  The exuberance of a certain member of the crowd towards the group throughout has to be noted.  'Greyhounds In The Slips' has a sample from "Jesus Camp" ("Warlocks are enemies of God") triggered by the drummer which was really cool. 

The group possess such energy on stage, all the more impressive given how many shows they've played over the past couple of years.    
I can't really focus on any one song because all of them were delivered with authority and passion,  but the end of 'Austere' gets a mention for Rhydian's head-bobbing.    Be sure to catch my video on YouTube, it's not as good as being there, but it'll have to suffice.

Rhydian's pedals.

Openers The Lonely Forest put on a fine show.
