Ugh I'm almost dead right now, but last night was amazing. I could watch Arcade Fire every single night for the rest of my life and never get bored.
I was actually pretty true to my sched yesterday:
Regina Spektor - Flawless set. She played all the hits, including "Fidelity," "On The Radio," "Us," "Poor Little Rich Boy," "Samson," and "That Time." At first I thought she was just solo, but she did bring her band out for part of the set. She was such a great artist to see in the daytime in the hot sun.
New Pornographers - They played all the hits too! Nothing from the new album, which was ok by me. They sounded great, playing songs like "Jessica Numbers," "Sing Me Spanish Techno," "Use It," and "Bones of an Idol." Excellent.
Kings of Leon - They sound so f'ing rocking. I'm not as familiar with their song names, but they played equal amounts of Aha Shake Heartbreak and Because of the Times.
Arcade Fire - Oh Arcade Fire. What can I say? They were definitely the highlight of my night last night. Nothing could have compared to them. They closed their set with "Neighborhood #3," then "Rebellion (Lies)" and finally "No Cars Go." So much fun. "My Body Is A Cage" breaks my heart every time they play it.
Girl Talk - He kept flashing the audience with weird messages on the screen. He's really great, but I wasn't in the mood for him at that point. Not after seeing AF.
LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture both had pretty solid sets. Very fun to dance to. Yay.
