The we should really have a YouTube thread thread

I saw Death Cab For Cutie at the Hollywood Bowl last night and it was one of the most incredible concert experiences I've ever had. If you want to get an idea, check out the finale of "Transatlanticism" with the LA Philharmonic…and fireworks. Unfuckingreal. Even the hardest cynic would probably admit this was some of the most epic shit they'd ever seen. But you still had to be there to truly appreciate the magnitude of the event. Enjoy.

f*ck f*ck f*ck.  a friend had a garden box seat for me, i almost got on a plane for this show… i knew it would be epic.  the hipsters can hate on death cab all they want - they have some great songs and put on a solid live show.  throw in the philharmonic, fireworks and the band knowing this was a one-time performance, and i have no doubt that was a night to remember.  wish i could have been there.  thanks for posting the link.  hopefully they'll release a recording and/or video of this show (will have to hit up dime and the other usual spots to see if anyone got a good bootleg).

Well, I saw them at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on Friday night, that show was (dare I say) even better. It was ridiculously intimate, and they were so well-rehearsed and amped up for the Hollywood Bowl gig. Both were amazing, just different, but seeing them in front of 600 people was like seeing a rehearsal, but seeing them in front of 18,000 people was great too. There are some more Youtube links popping up. I had a garden box and have to say that it was pretty friggin' fantastic. Sorry to say, but WELL worth the trip Sweetcell. Not sure if you've ever seen a show like that at the Bowl, but it's one of the best-kept secrets if it's a strong bill. Tegan and Sara and the New Pornographers opened. I was shocked that the NP's went on first and only got a half hour. They kind of got robbed in my opinion. T&S were scared shitless to play in front of that many people.

see first sentence/phrase of my previous reply.  realistically there was no way i could have made this trip given recent life events (like, say, moving).  so the rational part of my brain is trying its best to foster resignation and acceptance…

i had the extreme privilege of seeing radiohead there twice - amazing shows, but no fireworks.  on the second night during "house of cards", a song i'm only so-so on, i went all the way to the back of the bowl and slowly walked up, taking it all in… what a view.  what a great venue.

Radiohead there would be awesome!! Glad that you have at least seen some shows there…yeah, it was probably ill-timed. I guarantee it won't be the last time they play there though. It was pretty surreal to see tears streaming down people's faces during those fireworks though. I can't think of too many bands that can evoke that kind of emotion from people. You could see that the band knew it was their moment…they were grateful for that kind of reception and opportunity. It was cool that they didn't take it for granted. Tegan and Sara had a tough time though!

wow… just wow.

and yes, that's from "Ukraine Has Talent".  guess that franchise has hit every country by now.  the performance had extra emotional content for the crowd given the symbolism and historical topics addressed.  heavy stuff.

I'm glad that someone appreciated this.  I was a tad hesitant about posting it but figured WTF and went for it. 

admittedly it's not as cool as datarock or oneida…  ::)

Has anyone ever even posted an Oneida video, or is that just some buzzword that you wanted to throw around?

Just make it not such a hollow post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umu0jOegQEo

no, it was a buzz-band that i was throwing around - a dig at this bboard's dismissal of anything non-hipsterific.

i'm suprised that no one jumped on this comment informing me that datarock and/or oneida are soooooo one hour ago.

Yes, I recommend not talking about World War II with a Ukranian unless you have an iron stomach, plenty of alcohol and box or two of kleenex.

Fantastic link RB.

is there a doctor in the house?  ;D
