apparently being at the very front for LCD makes you unable to fully appreciate the "dance movements" the entire crowd did for "All My Friends", but now that I've seen the video, I have to admit, that was pretty crazy.

MOTHER. FUCKING. WEEN. God damn they were on fire. That Voodoo Lady was BLISTERING.
LCD blew my shit away.
And what an endearing TMBG set. That was my 18th time seeing them, and the first of those 18 that they didn't play Particle Man. That is probably one of the largest, if not THE largest, crowd they've ever played to, and the ever unflappable John Flansburgh seemed to be in a little over his head. Rad-badical rendition of Dr. Worm, even if Clap Your Hands never got off the ground. Man they're starting to look old.
The National. After how they tore up the Wookie stage in `08 I wondered if they could manage the big crowd. THEY DID!
And yeah, catching Deadmau5' set at the height of an ecstasy jaunt was everything I hoped it would be. His music sucks balls but when you've got ten million lasers and pupils the size of dinner plates, who can really give a shit?
PAVEMENT was not only the worst set of the weekend, but one of the worst sets I've ever seen in my life. I've never been much of a fan, but Malkmus in full-on Bitch Princess mode and a five minute tambourine solo less than fifteen minutes into the set while they cried about sound problems? God, they should have left Pavement in the ground where they belong. The fact that they gave LCD a 60 minute set so that Pavement could dick around all evening really burns my hash.
And fuck Tegan and Sara. If I wanted to, I could cram the same crappy drum beat into every single Ani DiFranco song ever written with my MacBook, at home.

Dude yeah! Everyone spontaneously did the Teen Wolf! My one goal for the weekend was to do the Teen Wolf and have everybody just join in like in the movie, but LCD made it happen before I could, god bless `em.

LCD Soundsystem was like seeing Talking Heads at the top of their game. I REALLY hope this isn't their last tour, that set was just fucking unbelievable (and they didn't even play Dance Yrself Clean).

LCD went from being a band that i really liked to being one of my favorite bands on earth after the sasquatch performance. everything from the music to the crowd to the weather was just absolutely perfect about their set.
On sort of a side note, I was flipping through the album "information" options of This Is Happening on my car's cd player and instead of displaying the title of the album it simply says "last album." I've been hearing the rumors but this was just sad to see.

really hoping LCD makes a stop in Seattle before they supposedly break up the band, i need to see a full set from them one way or another. i think it made me hate pavement's set even more knowing that they were taking up a slot they didn't deserve. putting a band whose average song length is somewhere around 7 minutes in an hour timeslot is fucking inexcusable. i was leaning on the rail just outside the pit for LCD's set and seeing nearly the entire crowd getting into it for All My Friends gave me the chills. even though they got screwed on their slot the crowd sure let them know they were awesome.

Yeah, and then the crowd left as quickly as possibly before Pavement took the stage. That almost made it worth it.

TOP FIVE PERFORMANCES:
1. Massive Attack - WOW!
2. LCD Soundsystem - What can I say that hasn't already been said? They were brilliant.
3. The New Pornographers - Ridiculous Setlist. MGMT who?
4. Local Natives - Holy Mustache, batman!
5. My Morning Jacket - Insane performance, setlist. Bravo!
MOST UNINSPIRED PERFORMANCE:
Pavement - I was really looking forward to seeing them, but they lost me like 15 minutes in... which bums me out. I couldn't help but checking the time throughout their set waiting for it to end, so that Massive Attack could take the stage. It was the longest 90 minutes of my life. Torture.

It was quite impressive, I showed my friend and the first thing he said was " thats a whole lot of white people"
Also, if you want a good laugh look up "Kid breaks his face to lcd soundsystem" on youtube.

Alright, we get it, you don't like Pavement. Fair enough, but must you constantly whine?
