hah, there was a group of four behind us (left side of the balcony) who kept saying how great they were, and also hitting every single annoying variation of the drunken YEAHHHHHH shout on the planet during their set.
 
 I WONDER IF THAT WAS YOU

[ggw]

NO.  IT WASN'T ME.  SORRY.

starting 15 minutes before the time posted on 930.com isn't cool. otherwise, all very cool. except for bombrepeat, on which i very much agree w/ggw.

I wonder if NPR had something to do with that?  The article promoting the webcast stated that the show would start sometime around 9:40.  Apparently, they knew about the early start time.

Ted kicked ass, I'm so thankful I finally got to see him.  The new songs did sond pretty good live, although I too think he would do well not to play "Bomb" anymore.  The reggae one came off pretty well, though.

  Anyone have an opinion of the opener, Love of Diagrams?

They would have been fine had they had a vocalist between them who could actually sing...the music was good, but their voices were absolutely atrocious.[/b]

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I thought of them.

I thought 'Bomb' and 'Unwanted Things' were both killer.  I really only wish that he had played La Costa Brava, which is definitely my favorite track on the album.

 Saw Ted Leo & the Pharmacists last night and they were great, lots of energy. Love of Diagrams had to cancel due to illness, so a local band opened. They were OK, but I'm not rushing to see when they're performing next.
