REM Roll Call

[wml7]

Yeah I was surrounded by people of Cocoon.

The band is TWENTY SEVEN years old.  Get over  the old people all around you.  It'd be far weirder if it was a "generation millenium" crowd.

isnt Generation Millenium the same as Gen Y?
 
  sure you arent that young, miss p! [/b]

"Generation Y (sometimes referred to as "the Millennials") refers to a specific cohort of individuals born from around 1982 to 1997."
 
 Yes. I fit into that category.

 Another thing i noticed is that there wasnt one single t-shirt worn at the show last night. collared shirts for everyone...and yes, many capri pants. arent those out of style already? [/b]

You're worried about if capri pants are no longer in style?  Really?

Oh, and the answer is no.  Man-pri's are totally in style.

I loved all the bands.  Modest Mouse completely redeemed themselves for me!  (I had seen them at the Black Cat about 7 years ago and they were terrible)
 
 Loved the setlist, loved REM....loved the Obama stuff.
 
 There were a bunch of people wearing t-shirts around me     and also some dude who didn't stop taking pictures the entire time...
 
 wish I could go again.

So were parachute pants at one time. Doesn't make them any more attractive.

Soooooo, I missed the Merriweather R.E.M. show, because I went to see the Deal Sisters instead, BUT...
 
 I caught the Boston R.E.M. show last night, and I'm just getting settled from the Jones Beach show tonight.
 
 WOW. They are on FIRE.
 
 Setlist wise, I heard things I NEVER thought that I would hear, and performance-wise, I want to bring back up what someone said about Stipe being the ultimate front man. He. Wins.
 
 Tonight's show was completely and entirely drenched and the show went on, at the Jones Beach amphitheater, completely outdoor, in the middle of a lightning storm! I loved it! They knew that the die-hards were left in the audience (Seriously, like 70% of the audience left once it started raining, which was in between Modest Mouse and when they would've gone on), so they played a BUNCH of rare stuff they never do. The written setlist was WAY better than what they actually played, but even still, it was amazing.
 
 After seeing the two, I'd definitely say that Boston was better than Jones Beach, but that I'm definitely in for Philly and maybe the MSG show later this week! Whooooo!

The main level seemed pretty full from my POV.  I'd say at least 50% of the crowd was still there.   After they got started it was tons of fun.    Kind of a drag that we got the shortest show of the tour though.  After standing in the pouring rain all night, we got like 4-5 songs fewer than most other shows.   "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?", "So. Central Rain" and "1,000,000" made it worth the drive though.   Fun show - just a little short.
