If this U2 talk doesn't bring Ratbastard back from the grave, nothing will.

Agree…U2 GA's were great and they were on the lower end of the pricing spectrum…I think $85 (compared to $$hundreds for some lower bowl seats. As was stated, GA was not packed, and I was able to roam to the different stages and be on the rail or close for most of the show.

Say what you will about them, but U2 was fun.
The way they set up for and don't over-pack GA, you can kind of roam the floor and get good vantage points throughout the show as they move between and stages. For most of the show, I was closer than I probably could have gotten at a club-show. I would not have enjoyed nearly as much from the seats.

U2 puts on a HELL of SHOW! Seen them multiple times. They are the last of the true rock gods still proving age does not matter.
Nor talent, for that matter.
Cleaning the house, awaiting the arrival of four kids who will no doubt trash it. How were the Dr. Dog and Feelies shows i missed last night?

I thought the Feelies were great. I asked them to play "For Awhile" (which they haven't played in some time) and they did, so I was pleased about that. They didn't play "Slipping (Into Something)", which is really odd because they've been putting that in the encore lately. As much as I enjoy the last LP, it would be cool if they did a couple less songs from that and did some older songs…but again, you can't have everything. Performance-wise it was great. Glen seemed frustrated when he was having some issues with his guitar. They only perform with their own gear, which is why they don't really tour. Everything has to be transported and fit in their van. That being said, my favorite show this year was night 2 at Rough Trade, then the 9:30 Club, then World Cafe Live.
As an aside, I thought Flasher was great last night at the Black Cat. Cute that their families showed up to support them too. I bet they'll be on the main stage before the year is over. They perform really well together, and I enjoy that all 3 of them sing together. I'm not sure that I've seen many (any?) bands that use vocals that way, and it's a great idea. It's like the 3 of them singing together become a new instrument. I love that.
Good that Flasher are getting big…I saw them couple years ago (with Sneaks and Gauche) and thought they had great potential. Next thing you know they’re signed with Domino! New album is indeed great.
That’s a good double bill too with Dehd! Hope u guys caught them.

Really enjoyed The Feelies show. 1st time seeing them since the 80's. Good mix of new and old with covers thrown in during their 4 encores. 3 hours of solid music for $25. Well worth it.
I thought the feelies show was stellar
I know just a smattering of their material and first time seeing them
just loved the sound and the show
they have a this odd ability to time travel with a sound that is from the past, the mid-past and the present…but then just make it sound timeless at the same time

Flasher also having Girls of Trade on the bill was so fucking punk rock. Trashy (I use that term fondly) drag queens just doing their thing felt so necessary after how awful the last week was in the world of news. It so cheered me up to see one lip sync "Violet" by Hole…it really set a great tone for me. It was a fun night.
Flasher was great. I really enjoyed their set and thought they looked and sounded great. It was funny seeing Azagh standing like a sphinx in the front row as everyone around him was going bananas.
Dehd were interesting. I liked them a lot – except when the dude guitar player would sing, which was awful. I really liked his guitar playing though, and the bass player had a perfectly lovely voice, so it was always a bummer when he would open his mouth.
Girls of Trade were amazing. A perfect way to open the show.

Also, I realize that the Feelies are beloved board canon, but four encores is ridiculous.

Agreed, I wish they'd just stay there and play 8 songs instead of constantly leaving the stage. It gets to be silly. That's the only thing that I just think is tedious. Plus, the crowd starts to noticeably dwindle.

If this is brought on by seeing Herbie last night, you need to take off your headset, step away from your PC, and take a lap around the call center.
