psych furs were fantastic. richard butler is the like the tigger of rock singers with all that bouncing around on stage. since it was a double billing, i was pleasantly surprised with a 1.5 hour set from them, was expecting an hour. very much enjoyed them and hope they tour again. mars williams is an amazing sax player.
happy mondays on the other hand, i wanted to like it, i did, but shaun ryder sang flat as can be, the sound was horrible, and both he and rowetta's vocals were drowned out. plus the performance was just uneven. but i was kind of expecting the worst and this wasn't as bad as i exptected. the section i was standing in, had folks grooving and dancing their entire set, which was fun to see, seeing how dc audiences are generally stoic.
