 The Waterboys - Ram's Head
 Guided By Voices - The Recher
 Radiohead - MPP
 The Flaming Lips - Recher
 Tim Easton - Ram's Head

[thenotebookgirl]

Placebo is not making this list. God, that show was painful. Band=Good, Audience=Bad.
 
 Stellastarr was good though. And of course, being a teenybopper at heart, I was quite taken with the singer.

[Dandy01]

I thought the set almost mirrored this past summer's show, and I think I enjoyed the latter better.  What was so bad about the audience Laura?  The peeps around me were singing the lyrics and pogoing their heads off.  As for Stellastarr*, the first song, my fave In the Walls, was a great start and then it was downhill from there.

[thenotebookgirl]

I'm not a huge fan of the whole physical contact, crushing forward thing. Lots of hair in my mouth. And I never want to smell hair wax ever again. I wasn't really expecting it, I guess, so I didn't really enjoy it as much.
