It's like Tiffany shouting for help over the Beach Boys tribute band next door as Adam Ant scratches the lyrics for "Love Me Do" onto her neck.

In a rush so I can't post a proper review. But it was a great show last night. Mars Black is a terrific hip hop group from Omaha. The Faint rocked out in true dancing fashion. Love em. Bright Eyes was a 10 piece band and very intense. You're in for a good show!
-
well, I've now been to both concerts and I must say this night's show rocked more than yesterday. Or probably it was because I had a better spot. The Faint were more kick-assing and Bright Eyes even more intense. Sooo great!
-
i can see bright eyes being intense...does he cry harder?
-
i thought the show was amazing. the faint were so energetic and they really got the crowd moving. bright eyes was really good as well. conor seemed pretty coked up or something to me though. he still put on an amazing show though. the band was amazing, they added so much. it was a really fun night though and a great double bill.
-
i went to friday's show. i thought the show overall was really, really good. mars black was awesome and the crowd responded well to them. the faint put on a great fucking set. i was up front and their guitarist was dancing in front of me all night and playing some tight riffs. and bright eyes also had an amazing set. a lot of people have said that conor never seems into most of the time but i thought he was really into this show. great show overall.
-
how did bright eyes fall so far so fast? i hadn't seen them in over 5 years and they/HE seems even more ridiculous now.
"this song is about the first time i had my heart broken, it hurt so bad and i promised myself that it would never happen again, and it hasn't...."
"AWWWW" - the crowd
unless this is heavy heavy satire (similar to the radio interview in Fevers and Mirrors), then he is out of control.
The Faint, as always, blew BE out of the water. Earlier on tour they did a Neutral Milk Hotel cover, which I had hoped for.
-
yeah i heard that they did holland 1945 live and i was looking forward to hearing it as well but they didnt play it. oh well. glass danse, desperate guys and agenda suicide were the highlights of their set for me.

Well, you can try parsing what he said: "first time" implies more than once but "never happen again, and it hasn't..." contradicts that. He's too smart a lyricist to make such an ambiguous statement unintentionally so he was probably parodying himself.
(Now who's gonna jump on the phrase "parodying himself"...)
-
he's always parodying himself, isn't he??
-
My favorite show of the year thus far.
-
I saw the Thurs show, but missed the Fri show. Anyone know if the sets for both nights were pretty much the same?
-
Bright Eyes fuckin' rocked! That dude has crazy talent, very impressed...

i'm not sure about the faint's setlist. but i know that bright eyes basically played the entire new album plus neely o'hara and lover i dont have to love. the only song he didnt play from the new album was "theme to pinata".
-
went to the Thursday show. I'll be honest and say I mainly went for the Faint (that shows marks the 4th time I've seen them) since I wasn't too familiar with Bright Eyes' material (I have like 2 or 3 mp3s here and there).
Mars Black was alright. The Faint kicked mucho ass, as expected. I was surprised they did "In Concert" since I've never heard them do that one live (though it would seem fitting) and they also did "Let the Poison Spill From Your Throat". The only dissapointing part was where I was (front row, right side) and how the people around me weren't really getting into them (noticed mid-center of the audience was going crazy).
And Bright Eyes I really liked. They all put on a great show and was surprised to see some familiar faces (Nick, from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Gretta from Cursive). But I agree to whoever said it previously that Connor was coked up or something. Before each song, he kept saying "This song is about... yada yada yada", he was just mumbling. But still, great show.
-
Conor wasn't coked up, he's just too full of himself to say anything meaningful to us. Didn't he at one point call us all meaningless??

Yeah, and I was right in the middle of them and I must say that this was that what made the Faint-show perfect for me.
I went to both shows and I think neither the Faint nor Bright Eyes changed the Setlist.. are there any reasons why BE didn't play "Theme to Pinata"? That's one of my favorites from Digital Ash.
-
does anyone have any pictures of the friday show?
-
by the way i just found this - theres video of bright eyes singing happy birthday at the friday show with a little bit of "i believe in symmetry." also there are clips of "with arms outstretched" with conor from the rilo kiley show as well as the pete townshend cover finale with conor and mars black.

the last Faint show I went to (in Fall 2004), I started about 2 rows back mid center and it got so crazy I seriously thought I was going to die right there, heh. I was eventually pushed back further and I happened to be surrounded by some pretty tall people and I myself am not that tall (5'6) so I was being pushed around and was constantly grasping for air. But I think that only made the experience more intense and ended up loving the show... in a masochist sort of way. Besides, part of the reason I was so exhausted was that I was going nuts for each song (I especially went batshit crazy for Agenda Suicide, the very last song they played).
And some random idiot knocked off glasses and they flew down to the floor. Needless to say, my frame was fucked up (one of the ear pieces was completely broken off) and one of my lenses popped out and was scratched to hell (but they were 3 years old anyway so...). To make up for it though, me and my friends bumped into Todd Baechle after the show and he signed my copy of Wet From Birth.
