I skipped the Kills for Wiz Khalifa at Bumbershoot. I wasn't planning on it, but when I left the Butthole Surfers set, I saw a group of people outside the key arena and someone working security shouted that it was about to reach maximum capacity. So, I said fuck it I can see The Kills any time for around 20 bucks, but I'd probably never get a chance to see Wiz unless I pay a shitload of cash. It was a really good show, so I don't regret it.
Macklemore had one of the greatest crowds I've witnessed. Even though I don't like being the Iphone douche, I pulled my phone out at least 8 times. I was too impressed by the energy of the crowd.
I accidentally witnessed what will go down as the best Thermals ending to a show. Smashing a guitar is so cliche, but he was having issues with his guitars near the end of the show, which lead to a 10 minute delay right before their last song. When his guitar went south during, "Here's Your Future," (their greatest song in my opinion), he smashed his guitar out of anger, then finished the song while the crowd hummed the riff. Then he crowd surfed with the remains of the guitar in his hands. If you are a Thermals fan, drool.
I heard that Shabazz Palaces got booed off last night by the Macklemore fans. Is that true?
There were people booing, but not that many. Each time someone booed, more people ended up cheering to offset it. They did end earlier than I anticipated, they played 25 minutes instead of the 40 they were scheduled for, and the lead singer once told the crowd, "we'll be finished soon." I would feel bad for them if they didn't suck so bad live.
A+ Thermals story, and is there some Macklemore/Shabazz Palaces beef I don't know about? Or was SP opening to a crowd of impatient assholes?
They weren't being impatient. Plain and simple, Shabazz Palaces sucks live. They already have a lazy flow which can be tough to grasp, but they might as well have been relaxing in LA-Z-BOY recliners having a conversation with each other.

I couldn't disagree more. Shabazz was probably the best show I saw this summer.
I think I'm in the minority here too but I can't really stand mackelmore

That's because Pitchfork doesn't like Macklemore, HAHA, THAT'S SO FUNNY, LOLOLOLOL. Honestly, I don't really like Macklemore either, but what a great show.
As for Shabazz Palaces, I'm not sure I've ever backed a live show as being spectacular, when others boo and bad-mouth the band. A friend of mine saw them at Bumbershoot, and told me they suck live. I didn't believe him, just because the "lazy flow" I mentioned earlier can be tough to get. I don't mind their flow, but they did nothing live to warrant any semblance of awesome. I think you are just a super-fan.
That's fine though, most think Animal Collective sucks live, and they are top five of my favorite acts live. Super-fan here.

Actually reading through the Willamette Week's coverage of the show it sounds like the bass might have been really muddled which would make a huge difference in the show. They're not the most animated performers but their raps come through clear and when the bass hits it is really powerful. If the roseland sounded anything like it did at the only other rap show i've seen there (nickatina) I completely understand how it could be disappointment
also the superfan thing is probably pretty close to true.
I was going to agree with this just to spite gunther but I'm more of a mercury fan. I just saw their commentary on it and remembered that the bass in the Roseland is horrible.
