			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most anticipated live events of the year happened last night at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC, as Jeff Mangum returned to the stage after a long hiatus (excepting his performance of &#8220;Engine&#8221; during the Elephant 6 Holiday Surprise Tour of 2008, and occasional cameos during sets by <strong>Elf Power, The Olivia Tremor Control</strong>, and<strong> The Instruments</strong>).  He performed:</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh Comely&#8221;<br />
&#8220;A Baby for Pree&#8221;/&#8221;Where You&#8217;ll Find Me Now&#8221;<br />

&#8220;In the Aeroplane Over the Sea&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Engine&#8221; (encore)</p>
