Andrew McMahon plays the entire album, top to bottom, more than 10 years after its release.
At 9:15 p.m., the house lights went down and hands went up.

McMahon wrote and recordedEverything In Transitin Los Angeles during the summer of 2004.
He was still in treatment and the supporting tour was postponed indefinitely.
While recording, McMahon remembers, I was having the time of my life.
He says, I was 22 and I just blew up my band [Something Corporate].
It was extraordinary, Ill be clear about that.
I knew that I was striking out to do this thing and that I loved the music.
It was one of those records where I felt like I could do no wrong.
He ended the night crowd-surfing across the floor, singing Tom Pettys American Girl with triumphant, reckless abandon.
Is it possible for the world to look this way forever?
The 10 Years In Transit Tour continues Wednesday night at New Yorks Irving Plaza.
It will finish In Boston on Thursday.
Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness will tour this summer with Panic!
at the Disco and Weezer.
