kinda sounds like a limp bizkit concert…
Matt did play a few riffs from Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker".
or a show i woulda went to when I was 13, if i had cool music taste then…
I dont want to discourage anyone by making that show sound like some crazy fun rock concert.
this was the Philly show.
dont worry. the DC show will be way more tame, and much less fun. so dont go selling your tickets!

my friend saw them at Curiosa in NYC and said that they basically stole the show, insane stage presence the entire time… i'll be there tonight, then heading up to NYC Thursday for Interpol… oh yeah, and Pixies are only a month away!
I cannot wait for this show. It will take my mind off the knots in my stomach caused by the job search/interview process I'm entering.

Originally posted by redsock:Nah, my current job isn't that bad. I'm just looking to move up the food chain, which isn't possible now unless my boss decides to quit. He's made no such comments in that direction, alas.

i've got an interview with the zutons at 5:30. so please be nice to me, 9:30 staff, and let me in. then i will be rocking out to the show, i'm so psyched seeing the setlist from philly, if they play both "new born" and "plug in baby" i will be dancing like crazy.
f*cking brilliant….awesome, awesome show. And even in DC, the crowd was rocking almost the whole time and all the way to at least two-thirds of the way back, to just in front of the monster soundboard they built out of the usual spot – was about two and half times the normal size.
I fully admit, I'm a newcomer – I got Absolution and Showbiz about three weeks ago. I listen to Absolution a LOT.
I'm impressed. And a $15 show to boot. Kick ass. Don't know if Interpol will be able to match 'em, but I'm hoping so.

I'm sorry if this offends people. But, IMHO,the sound absolutely sucked tonight. I've been to loud shows and enjoyed it, but this was really bad. Couldn't hear the vocals or bass at all. During some of the loudest parts, all I could hear was distortion and a faint snare beat.
I dont blame the 930 sound crew because they probably had nothing to do with it. Muse brought in their own sound board.
The Zutons, on the other hand, had a fantastic outing and they got the crowd going.

helicon, I think you're right…I just didn't know what to expect so I loved the show. But a friend of mine was at the Phillie show and said the sound mix was immeasurably better – crisp, vocals mixed up (including the bass player's, who apparently has an awesome voice), bass was better mixed.
I rate the Muse show: <img src="http://www.dimpleandasmirk.com/_images/avatar.jpg" alt=" - " />
It was so great seeing them in a small venue considering I first saw them in 100+ degree heat in the CA desert earlier this year. The crowd was really into it and I love that. It makes for a better concert-going experience.
I disagree on the Zutons, though. Frankly, one would have thought there were two different audiences with each band given the (lack of) reaction the Zutons received. I had heard a couple of their songs previously, but they didn't win me over tonight.

Originally posted by sonickteam2:It sounded like they were playing in a bathroom :) But I was in front of the soundboard, which usually is a great spot. I'm not discrediting their performance, because they were really good. I just wish the overall mix was better.

i thought the sound was fantastic for both the zutons and muse. we were right up in front, near the speakers. it was loud, but that the sound was not distorted and vocals were clear.
anyone see seth and his special guests up in the vip stage area?
dandy, were you there? i think you may have been standing in front of bunnyman and i during the zuton's set.
i wasn't impressed with either band-just not my thing. their muscianship was excellent, but i couldn't figure out who the zutons wanted to be-sometimes it was credence clearwater revival, other times crosby stills and nash-it just felt like a tribute to the 70's. though the lead singer's purple velvet blazer was pretty fab.
i think muse lacked real substance. some real highlights in there, but overall, they just didn't do it for me. i'm glad i checked them out, but i don't see the need to see them again.

Originally posted by lily1:Yeah, I had the same impression. I kept thinking Doobie Brothers with some Zappa thrown in, or maybe that's because the rhythm guitarist reminded me of Zappa.
