i'm not sure that request was for me, but here goes anyways: t'was absolutely brilliant. best live comedy i've ever seen. good comedy is more than just jokes, it should make you think, feel, question, cringe… jimmy did all of that. he is amazing at improv (protip: don't heckle him unless you're prepared to be destroyed… he murdered three loudmouths last night). i was a tad worried that after 25 years of touring he'd be jaded, phoning it in, doing the same old routines, etc - newp, last night was as fresh and heart-felt as any of his past stuff i've seen (recorded). jimmy carr is now on my must-see list, i'll be catching him whenever he's in town. protip2: if you do have an opportunity to catch his show, don't bring someone who is unfamiliar with his stuff and/or isn't a fan of blue and black humor. the couple sitting to my left were on a date and the lady was not enjoying herself… she stuck it out but she clearly doesn't believe that sacred cows make the tastiest hamburgers. pretty sure the date was over after that ;D
he doesn't have any currently listed dates in the DC area. he'll be in atlantic city in april, as well as the carolinas and pittsburgh around then, but nothing closer. but he's constantly touring so it's just a matter of time. highly recommended.
Interpol tomorrow

Wish I'm seeing Sweeping Promises again tonight opening for Interpol.
One of the best albums of the year.
Brilliant show at songbyrd on Thursday. I bet they sound great with 930s sound system.

Has anyone seen an announcement of whether on not Madonna is covering the costs to keep the Metro open late for her shows? Sounds like it's already going to be a nightmare with the Red line shutdown… This whole not starting until after 10pm for a two hour+ show is stressing me out.. and yes I know there are these things called horseless carriages, just the Green Line is less stressful…

Thanks for the link, but wow that video is super unhelpful when trying to see on one’s phone
Looks like if you take the green line north one is going to miss 40+ minutes of the show.
Sigh

Due to the intricacies of the Madonna production, Tuesday’s show will begin past the ticketed start time of 8:30 PM. Please plan your evening’s travel and surrounding details accordingly.
Please be aware that the show may run past when the last train is expected to leave the Gallery Place station. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Gallery Place train schedule and rider guide HERE before the show.

To me it sounds like they won't extend metro unlike the last tour?

Yup not seeing any of the local news outlets sharing the info about them paying to keep the metro open, the whole Red line closure with all those buses is probably complicating things
Oh well horseless carriage is being arranged

Managed to go all 3 nights, thanks to a kind friend who hooked me up. All three were great and special for different reasons. Night 1 might be my favorite, but night 2 had a bunch of great songs not played either night, and night 3 was a really solid performance. Beautiful lighting, great sound, and positive vibes all around.
As an aside, I had a lot of emotional moments thanks to conversations I had with folks over the last few evenings, and also because of Interpol's stellar performances. I'm going to take a moment to highlight the hard work, dedication, and commitment that the crew put into making each show something special. A huge part of that is what the 9:30 does to ensure that happens. Consummate professionalism. They treat the band and crew with respect and enable them to do their work to make each night special. It is so easy to take for granted, but that's why after decades some of these folks are still doing what they're doing. They put their hearts and souls into their jobs, and it isn't easy work. Also, I couldn't help but get a little misty thinking of some of the people I've known at the 9:30 over the years who aren't with us anymore. I've got many, many memories attached to the space and the last few nights were reminders of how much fun I've had, how many memorable things I've seen, but how grateful I am for the friends I've made and people I've met. So many good ones are still with us, and I'm thankful for that. Really loved these shows and glad I got to see them. It's a good time of year to reflect on what makes concerts special, and the value they have given to my life. For me it's far more than just for the fun of seeing a show.
Hear hear

Laura popped-up unexpectedly in my Facebook feed the other day. That choked me up a bit. :(

can we expand on this? What other purposes do we attend concerts for?
