Great show. I got there on the early side and caught most of the BellRays set. The slower more soulful stuff didn't play too well, but when they are hitting their stride, they are fantastic.
 
 Bloc Party were excellent. They came across as a lot stronger than the other flavor-of-the-week bands. I'm looking forward to the Thursday show.
 
 The Pixies were supreme. 'nuff said.

Yep, that was me in the Funhouse shirt totally losing my shit (especially during Caribou). I have NO control when I'm at a Pixies show. I think my friends who were with me were a little scared, but I didn't care. I just do my thing and try not to get in anyone's way. I think if anything they were mildly entertained or at least had a good laugh. I've said it before...the Pixies changed the way I listen to music. Those songs are tattooed on my brain, I know pretty much every single word. It goes without saying that for anyone who saw me going nuts, yes my neck and back are sore today

>>>> We were the next 2 guys down from you on your right in your row.....my buddy was standing to my left....about 6'5", bald,kinda looks like a young Hunter Thompson and I was to his right....

That's too funny...I assume you got your tix from the Pixiesmusic.com presale? As you could guess, I had a pretty awesome time. My 2 friends I was with have just started dating and they got all cuddly at one point. I was just like "oh JEEZ...whatever". I actually went further up for the encore, then managed to have Chumpy the roadie get me a setlist. I said hi to him and said "I'm..." and he said, "yeah, yeah, I know who you are!" It was hilarious.

Okay, since it's GGW, I assume you mean "bobbing his head slightly at a 25 degree angle..."?    

[kosmo vinyl]

no there was definite moving of other body parts involved...

[ggw]

I was tapping my foot as well.

All three acts were excellent. Definitely worth the drive, the heat, and the price of admission. The Bellrays were loud as all hell and sounded like Tina Turner fronting the Stooges. Damn, that woman sure could belt out a soulful rocker! Bloc Party were flawless as expected by anyone who saw them at the Black Cat. They are not a flavor of the month. Anyone who has listened to their album should know that. Its one of the best of the year. Not a single bad track. And, the Pixies...were the Pixies. they give their all. Similar choice of songs from the first DAR show but the sound was better - louder - at least from the pavillion. Great to hear "Allison."

Great show and worth the lack of sleep for work the next day.  And worth the 400 degree pavillion area.  The two shows they've put on here over the last year have been two of the best I've seen in a while. Watching them get the gold records was priceless.  Maybe its just a matter of where I was seated this time, but the crowd seemed more jubilant than the DAR crowd - everyone was singing along word-for-word.
 Thought the BellRays were awesome, although the bass volume destroyed my hearing as our seats were very close to speakers.  I know nothing about them other than the show.  Did someone onstage say they were from LA?  If someone can suggest a record please do.  
 I dont get Bloc Party but maybe I need to listen more.  I'm probably just getting old but they sound just like another 80s revival band to me.  Damn, they looked like an 80s band too.

I've been a Bellrays fan since I saw them at Sleazefest back in 2000. For the Pixies show, they only played material from the new album The Red White and Black. I haven't really gotten into it but I liked the songs better live. If I had to recommend an album to the uninitiated, I would say 2001's "Grand Fury." Outstanding record that captures their live sound pretty well.

Could that concert have been any better?  I suppose if they had played Alec Eiffel, River Euphrates, and/or Subbacultcha too.  I never got a chance to see them back in the day.  What a sublime experience.
 
 I was seven rows back (near Kele from Bloc Party) on the right side facing the stage, tall chick wearing a black tank top and b/w striped pants.  Proud to be one of the 3 black women (I saw) there.  LOL
 
 Definitely coming to the BP show tomorrow.  Say "hey" when you see me.   :cool:
