My short summary:
Annuals - Didn't like them. All over the place in sound. When you there are two drum sets on stage, I expect something special. This wasn't.
The Walkmen - I felt like they phoned it in. No personality whatsoever. Surprising since last time I saw them it was a passionate show.
Kaiser Chiefs - Fantastic! Great energy, showmanship. Engaged the crowd and completely delivered on the sound.
just to add on.. for me the annuals have gotten worse. now i really thought that wasnt possible for a band to piss me off that much, but im pretty sure its like 2 different bands that come together on stage. 2 keyboard players, 2 drums, 2 guitars. and their music is all over the place - pick a style and keep to it.
the walkmen - musically i think they are a pretty tight band, but as kurosawa said no personality whatsoever. a true waste. i just checked pics and my god it really was that boring.
kaiser chiefs - awesome, awesome set! so full of energy! and they were sounding awesome! and ricky is very engaging with the crowd.
now im tempted to see them in nyc, but i think the klaxons tomorrow night should do as great a job if not better! yay!
