Phoenix upset!

Scheduled time change to 4:45pm for the phoenix broadcast

looks like this one got canceled… no longer listed on the edge's website.

I watched it. They performed "1901" and "Listzomania" acoustic, then had a 5-minute interview about Bonnaroo. Very short segment.

booked on Letterman 6/18, Kimmel 6/26

My tv guide said BOTH Letterman and Ferguson for 6/18. Is that possible, are both of those shows in NYC?

my usual reference for late show lineups says Metric on Ferguson 6/18: http://www.interbridge.com/lineups.html

So…anyone going tonight? Anyone that has an extra? :)

Kosmette and I are in, but sadly no extra…

I am going, and DO have an extra. Do you still need it Bearman?

I sure do!! I've got one friend coming, but will gladly take an extra. I'm going to get to the venue early, but can hang out as long as necessary Redsock. I'd be grateful. Thanks!! Will PM you my cell.

Leaving now for the show. Can't wait! :)

Fab show by the Phoenix lads tonight, was grinning ear to ear for the one to two punch of Napoleon Says with fuzzed out bass and Funky Squaredance and the scorching guitar solo.

To bad the venue and opening band were so lousy….

Awesome show! It was hot as hell in there, so my fiancee wanted to leave during "If I Ever Feel Better," but I still had a great time.

I loved hearing "Rally," "Sometimes in the Fall," and "Funky Squaredance."

Redsock, thanks SO much for the extra ticket! I managed to get my other friend in too…amazing. I felt really lucky to see this show. The energy at the end was insane, it truly reminded me of being at the old 9:30 Club to be that close. The PA isn't horrible, but I was WAY up front so I truly didn't notice if it sounded bad. I heard it was insanely hot towards the back and it got that way up front for a while too. That being said, we got some water handed out to us and someone must have opened up a back door because the heat managed to simmer down during the last 4th of the show or so.

Setlist:

Lisztomania
Long Distance Call
Consolation Prizes
Lasso
Napoleon Says
Funky Square Dance
Rally
Girlfriend
Armistice
Love Like a Sunset
Run Run Run
Too Young
Sometimes in the Fall
Rome

If I Ever Feel Better
1901

amazing show! it looked like the band was enjoying the crowd throughout the entire set.  i hope they don't wait a few years before coming back to the area.

Supposedly they'll be back in September…listening to them now. Sigh. Luv them.

Given the reports on the venue and my hunch that they'll be back at the more comfortable 9:30 Club in September, I'm glad I unloaded my tickets. Looks like they play a fairly short setlist?

It was about 70 or 75 minutes. For a face value $18 ticket (plus service charges of course), I think it's quite respectable. They played a really solid setlist too…not too many songs you'd be left to want hearing. Although I'm sure it was miserable in back, for those of us lucky enough to be against the stage it was one of those nights you'll never, ever forget. After having had a few hours of sleep and waking up feeling like I slept 12 hours, it never ceases to amaze me how much energy I get from a fantastic concert. Well worth the time and suffering through those 15 minutes or so where it was probably 90 degrees…I had a total blast.

Phoenix's drummer is quite the busy boy these days.  Besides being the driving force behind why Phoenix is able to rough off the edges of their polished studio sound live, he's in two other Swedish bands…

Indie Rockers The Perishers who are on Nettwork Records

and

the Sludge Doom outfit Cult of Luna

Update:  Make that a very busy drummer according to his myspace page he plays in

The Perishers, Deportees, Phoenix, Cult of Luna, KHOMA, Band of Gold and Adam Tensta.
