Some notes on the evening:
- I still don't know who opened for them (guys, you may want to tell the crowd your name in case they're into you. You can sell stuff that way). They weren't good at all, and their drummer couldn't keep consistent time. They were in desperate need of a metronome.
- Spoon, on the other hand, sounded wonderful. Britt Daniel's interaction with the crowd was minimal, but the band was awesome. Daniel worked his butt off, and they played just shy of two hours.
- They have a big library, and while we got a good mix, I still missed Got Nuffin and The Mystery Zone.
- I had the misfortune of standing behind some twenty-something couple, and the guy simply could not keep his hands off his girl. We went through four phases 1) constant contact 2) separation anxiety when she went to the ladies room (seriously, dude, dogs do better than you on that) 3) copious amounts of crotch grabbing and finally 4) too stoned, and barely awake.
- Been a long time for me since I've been to 1st Avenue and I missed it. We're lucky to have such a venue.
- My "Oldest Guy at the Concert" T-shirt (order yours here) got more comments than at any other concert. It is a nice conversation piece when I go to these things by myself.
