Got to see Air in San Diego...OMG. So interesting to see what a concert out there is like vs. here. Aside from the insane puffs of pot smoke that permeated the venue, the only difference in setlist was "Alone in Kyoto" instead of "Radian", which was gorgeous. Upon reflection, I have to say this was my favorite tour of Air's. Nicolas' bass sounded unbelievable. "Tropical Disease" was friggin' epic, but the psychedelic version of "La Femme D'Argent" was especially bombastic. I find it so funny that 2 boring French guys can put on such an exceptional live show. I know everyone thinks Phoenix is the best, and I do love them...but Air is so underrated in terms of their musicianship. JB's arrangements are mind-blowing, and Nicolas' bass-playing is criminally underappreciated. I'd kill to see this tour again.
