i was expecting a little more from EITS as well. good, not great.
1 hour of EITS?
Throw me into the "slightly disappointed" camp. Don't get me wrong, what they played was amazing, but I also didn't realize that they play such short sets. And considering the hype surrounding their live shows, I must confess I was expecting to be blown away. Instead, I merely enjoyed their set. Good, but not great, is an apt description. That said, thank you, 9:30 Club, for finally giving me the chance to see them. And thank you to the kind gentleman who sold me a spare ticket in front of the club for $10. :)
I really wish they had played "Birth and Death of the Day", though. And I think "So Long, Lonesome" would have made for a great last song. I love their older albums, and initially felt that the new one wasn't quite up to snuff, but the more I listen to it, the more I love it.

Don't ever stop!" over and over again the moment they hit a quiet spot, along with "Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!". Then he moved right past me up into the crowd a bit, and began waving his fists in the air with the music. It was then that he shouted "Go back to Texas!", which didn't make any sense at all considering how much he seemed to be enjoying the show. >_>
On another note, did anyone hear that guy who yelled "go back to texas"? That annoyed the hell out of me.yeah i heard it. i hate assholes like him.
FYI the show was booked and the times arranged based on EITS doing a 60-minute set. The curfew was always going to be 10:30 and everything was planned based on that. So nothing was cut short or changed because it was the first of 2 events that night.

i don't know about the disappointed stuff. i'm not really sure what the expectations were, but it definitely is different seeing them in larger venues now. after seeing them in very small rooms and with crowds as small as ~25, seeing them in a sold-out, 930 club is completely different. i'm not really sure what more i have to say on it.
