This was an absolutely awesome, awesome concert. Of course, Spoon blew my mind (not even the really tall, awkward guy in the front who chose to stand directly in front of Britt Daniel could lessen our experience), but both The Walkmen and White Rabbits were far better than I could have ever expected. I could go on, but we'll leave it at that: awesome.
I captured a lot of video too, but the sound is terrible. I'll see what I can salvage.

Good to see your webpage up and running again. Glad to hear Spoon was awesome.
Yea, eat it up ladies...or Andy...as it were -- Jon decided to take me along on this trip. It really was a great night even with a stomach ache...
The White Rabbits were pretty good, though I really couldn't hear the vocals too well over the INCREDIBLE drumming with maracas (had to look up the spelling - although I had it right). Seriously, they had 2 drummers...who has 2 drummers? Normally bands that don't have a drummer good enough to perform alone you may assume...but that's not the case either because they were both out of control.
...and then the Walkmen -- they actually took the cake for me, or at least "tied" with Spoon. I haven't heard vocals like this guy since Queen...although he was dressed much less...how do you say -- homo. His pipes were just beyond amazing.
...but then Spoon came out, and half the crowd stood up, the others were just douchebags...but anyways, it didn't make Spoon any less incredible. I was astounded by this concert too, he even pulled out the Johnny Lang voice once or twice.
But all I can say is, thank you, friend.
