 Oh my fucking god.
 
 That was undboubtebly one of the best live shows Ive ever fucking seen. They came out adn played MILLIONFUCKINGAIRE! From the get go i was fucking ecstatic, THEN they played In The Fade, THEN the fun machine took a shit and died!
 
 AND THEN THIS:
 
 "Sorry, we had to snort a huge line of cocaine. No other bands party! They're all a bucnh of pussies!"
 
 I wish they would have played 1 more song for the encore but the setlist was motherfucking solid gold. Its hard to say nothing would have made it better but it was damn near unstoppable.
 
 Here's the petition yall:
 
 Seth pleeeaseeee bring Queens and their chandaliers to 930! PLEASE SETH! SEEING THEM TWICE WITHIN A YEAR WOULD MAKE EVERYTHING WORTH TYPING IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
 
 Im so fucking excited I can't sleep.
 
 I wanna make it with everyone right fucking now.

Ok, so that restraining order will have to be extended beyond merely Jemina

That's about as good a setlist as anyone could hope for.  I'm now twice as pissed I missed the show.  Sucks to be me.

Ummm YES. YES YES YES YES YES.
 
 I had like 10 moments of "Oh my god is this really happening" last night, and "I Think I Lost My Headache" was definitely a highlight for me.
 
 I'm all at Philly though. I need "I'm Designer", "Suture Up Your Future", and "Go With the Flow".
 
 
 Oh, and did anyone else think the beginning of Into the Hollow sounded like Long Slow Goodbye last night? It had a TOTALLY different intro than when I'd heard it in August.

Sweets, what's the line on this? I need to call my bookie before noon.

I actually thought that "Into the Hollow" was "Tangled Up in Plaid" at first. I'm having a tremendously hard time focusing this morning because this show was really THAT good. Did anyone else think it was tremendously cool how everyone kept punching the air during the "HEY!"s of "Do It Again"? I loved Josh's classic line during "Feel Good" of "everybody knows you dance like you fuck". "In the Fade" truly made my night. I could have left after that and been perfectly happy, but "I Think I Lost My Headache" sealed the deal. The funny thing was I had such a stressful day at work and really wasn't even that focused on the show until about 15 minutes before they went on. Guess the 2 double vodka sodas I had helped a little too!

to be honest, i wasn't sure what i was getting myself into last night cause i'm only vaguely familiar w/ the music (although i've been listening to the new album quite a bit).  and i was even contemplating staying home.  damn glad i didn't!  they definitely bring something that isn't captured in the studio.

  The show sounded fantastic, which is the point, but I had to get my visuals off a plasma TV because the Rams Head sold out curse raised its' ugly head and we couldn't find a sight line worth a shit

i got there around 9, and the floor was basically packed.  i found an okay spot (i.e. i could see) at the bottom of the stairs, but i wasn't looking forward to posting up at a major intersection.  from what i could tell, there weren't many people upstairs. little did i realize, that single line of people along the railing made it impossible for my 5'5" ass to see the stage at all.  luckily, though, i finally settled upstairs near the railing above the sound board.  within the first few songs, there were enough gaps between the people in front of me that i got to see the show!  i left a very happy girl

The line is SHUT UP!
   :p

AN AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGG show.  Nothing this year could top Iggy and the Stooges at the 930, but this show would probably have to be number 2 as far as best live performance I have seen in 2007.

[RustyOrgan]

Thunderous show last night...!

Oh, I feel for you.  I was one of the folks trying to get by you to go upstairs for a drink and a pee.  It was TOUGH getting back.
 
 I ended up having a FANTASTIC spot sight-wise (though the sound was a tad muddled).  Bearman, I was near you -- we were over in front of the other Exit door behind the soundboard, on the handicapped ramp which was not jam packed, and was on a rise so we could see over everyone in front of us.  Room to dance, a rail for leaning, great sight lines.  And you don't even want to know when we got there -- just minutes before the band went on.  I'd never been to RHL before so we scoped the whole place out first.  Rule of thumb -- go to the side away from the entrance!  [At 9:30, that's over by Food Food.]
 
 The upstairs was not full at all, but TERRIBLE for seeing.  I'm 5' 9", and couldn't see a thing with only one line of folks at the rail.  Another thing 9:30 really got right -- the 'steps' on the second level.
 
 Loved the show, they are SO good.  Wish I had the gumption for Philly, but too much is going on generally and I need some rest.
 
 Josh Homme should be on my Rock n' Roll husband list, but I think I'm not tough enough.  
 
 Sonick, missed you probably because we came in directly from the parking lot.  In the hubbub, I forgot to go look for you.  Glad to know you enjoyed the show so much!
 
 Bearman, as long as you were in bliss, it's all good.  See you at the next one!

   Queens was definitely running low on my radar til now.  Their live show blows the CDs out of the water.
 
   got to meet bnyced0 and the director too, which, of course, made my night!        
 
   i am off to bed....

Le Sonick was cool as a fan.  Great host.  It was good to chop it up with you, fam.  Good folk right there.  
 
 KILLER show.  I feel for whoever wasn't there.  I had a marvelous time, even with the wack ass sightlines. (I am truly spoiled by 9:30's excellence.) Note to self: I will never be going to Rams Head again for a sold out show. (Until they book someone on the level of Queens, of course.)
 
 Spent time kicking it with my mans & 'em, bnyce.  Appreciate you rolling out the red carpet & what not.  Good times as always.  I'm quite sure we'll be doing it up again sooner than later.  How's everything going at work today, "Tommy"?      

[Vas Deferens]

 (2nd request)

[Cash is King]

yeah, i was going to mention that last night.  Baltimore is usually good for one thing, smaller crowds.  So usually at the good shows, the crowd is smaller, leaving plenty of room for ppl.
 
   Bags had it right, downstairs head behind the soundboard if you cant get right up front, there a bar right there, the exit is near and cause of the slope, you can see just fine.
 
   at least they somewhat make up for their crappy sightlines with their plethera of 42" plasmas.

  pleasant surprise, but yeah, ppl did NOT seem to like him at all.
