i'm pretty sure she played at the capitol ballroom as it was then called twice back in the '90s, but i could be wrong.

you know, I knew as I was typing that you'd probably chip in with your usual two cents
I guess what I should have clarified is that I don't think they've hit DC since their opening album, so a good 5 years…..unless I was out of town and it was not on my radar screen
they definitely didn't come here for Leader of the Free World….mind you I think in general they avoid the states

They also played the 9:30 a few months prior to that show with Doves. Twice in one year and now nothing since.

i guess we're only talking about the district itself? 'cause the raconteurs just played the Patriot Center last friday, in my books that takes them off this list.
RE: daft punk - maybe seth will read this thread and take them off the list, too :)

If we're going to qualify it with only in the district or only as a headliner then I'd add the Manic Street Preachers. I think the only time they've been in this area was opening for Oasis at Nissan in 1996.

Yes, that's the one. Guy was sick with some throat ailment and even got a member of the audience to go up on stage and sing lead vocals on "Newborn". She wasn't half-bad, either.
