Ummmmm . . . . this little thing called Virgin Festival in Baltimore back in September.  Plus they opened for Bob Dylan on Saturday @ Patriot Center.  Just an FYI . . . .

I think they were on the bill with Keane and The Killers at MPP the summer before last.

didn't catch that surrounding area caveat at the end.  well aware of those shows.  i was thinking proper headlining show.  not getting roped into those type of shows.
 
 raconteurs played the fucking norva for chrissakes.  no 9:30?  what the shit?  i'm sure it didn't work out or whatever and wasn't for a lack of effort on mr. hurwitz's part.  just a bit surprising.

but, fuck, the libertines put on some great shows here ... the black cat one in '04 (?) with british sea power opening, in particular

[Mobius]

Yes, that Libertines show at the Black Cat was great.  I believe it was around August 2003.   Would have been cool to see Doherty w/ the band though - have to think he kicked it up a notch.
 
 Another (sort of) - the reunited Stooges.  I guess they haven't been too many places, but it'd be nice to get them to DC.
 
 Sidenote to that - I was flipping through some book, I think Please Kill Me, and there was a story about the Stooges playing Constitution Hall in the early 70's.   Who are the ad wizards who booked that?
