Jeff Mangum changes everything with surprise performance in Brooklyn, and we've got EXCLUSIVE photos!

On Saturday, Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel (a.k.a. The Greatest Musician In The World) descended from the heavens to bestow upon an earthly Brooklyn/Schoolhouse crowd of under 100 what may very well go down as The Greatest Show of All Time. With a set that spanned NMH’s two albums, On Avery Future/Song Islands and The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right) (with a B-side thrown in for good measure), Mangum was, according to accounts, “heavenly,” “God-ly,” and “absolutely transcendental.”

Don’t believe it? If this five-song bootleg doesn’t convince you, perhaps our exclusive pics of Mangum before, during, and after the surprise performance will:

-
