Watch Pavement bring out Kurt Vile in Philly for “Zurich Is Stained”

After their Brooklyn run, Pavement brought their highly enjoyable reunion tour to Philly on Wednesday night at The Met. Midway through their set they broke out Slanted & Enchanted classic "Zurich is Stained" and brought out "The Mayor of Philadelphia" and Pavement superfan, Kurt Vile, to sing lead. KV did a great job, didn't need a lyric sheet, and the crowd was singing nearly as loud as he was.

"Thanks to my heroes @pavementband for inviting me up there for this nostalgic moment frozen in time forever," Kurt wrote when he shared the clip on Instagram. Watch video of that, and check out the Philly setlist, below.

Pavement's tour hits DC and Atlanta this week before wrapping up in Austin where they'll be taping an episode of Austin City Limits (and streaming it live).
