I'd suggest viewing from upstairs then where peeps are more lax, for a more pleasant experience.

Look at tooms, all braggin' and shit.  Geez.

 And yeah, that Styx/REO Speedwagon show was amazing.  Could have done without Journey (who of course was the headliner), but it was all good.  Talk about revelling in nostalgia and schtick!

I really wanted to go to that New Model Army show but it was in that 2 weeks span of every fucking band in the world touring DC. Too much good and not enough time, not to mention way too many trips to DC.

I haven't seen many shows this year,
 
 Rhett Miller, Radiohead, Libertine's, Interpol (which I think was really all about the Occidentals for me)....
 
 everyshow I went to for a reason and enjoyed thoroughly for its own merits, but this weekend I was in Philly and I have say I saw one of the best shows I've seen in a long time.  Placebo played at Theater of Living Arts.  The sound is not always the best in that joint, but the crowd was more into it than I have seen in a long time at a show.  This is the first time I'd seen Plecebo live, sad to say I missed stella star- heard they had a good set too.

That Stones-AC/DC-Pretenders show was great.  About 1/3 to half the people were there for AC/DC and they rocked. the stones were good too, as were the Pretenders, although the Prentenders show at 9:30 was much better.  Not that many people knew the Pretneders, although on e of their sappy ballads got the biggest response, surprisingly ("I'll Stand by You").  It was in a big field in a larger town in eastern Germany. I kind of just showed up and went
