^^^^ just looking to up your post count there knowidyuh?
Nah, it's a boarder trick I learned way back in 2009. It means, "that person said exactly what I would have said," without actually saying anything. Although, I probably would have been nicer about it. WEEN BITCHESSSS.
I just might have to make my way back to seattle to see that show the paramount is pretty fucking cool. im still financially recoverying from gorillaz though and driving over snoqualmie pass in january is about as shitty as a weekend of campground fun is for I8

Dude, the drive is part of the experience. I'm a 16-year-old who just got his license for the first time. I am thus entirely experienced in how awesome driving is, and if you don't like it, then you're an old fart who is pussifying at a remarkable rate.
Leonard Cohen, wow. I have a bit of whiskey in my system right now, but I'm searching my brain for a better show. Time will tell, and I mean years, but that was at least one of the top five shows I've ever experienced. It might be the best.
exactly what my friend said last week. what a weird "North American Tour" Victoria, Vancouver, two shows in Oakland, Portland, then two in Vegas. Maybe he's hitting the rest of the continent in 2011?
ROGER FUCKING WATERS last night WAS the best show I've ever experienced.
As much as I love The Wall, what really makes this show so incredible is the theatrical aspect of it. The Wall they built (and tore down) and its accompanying graphics were incredible. All of the props were so cool, and for a 67 year old, Roger can still sing pretty fucking well. Great backing band too. I'm still recovering.

You can find videos of his "The Wall" performances from years past on the interweb, and yes they do look like they'd be an all-time top-5 concert to see live due to the theatrics. My friend is shooting him (photographically) at the Vancouver show tonight. So very jealous.

This tour is in it's third year. He already hit the major cities in North America (including about 64 Canadian shows), so this part of the tour was hitting a couple cities he skipped.
And after a couple days of reflection, yes, it was the best concert I've seen. It put my other top shows to shame. Arcade Fire who?
Most shows, you are lucky to get 90 minutes, with two hours being very rare. He is 76 years old, and played for over three hours, and that is not counting the 20 minute break.
Quasi was as good as ever. Janet even joined Sam to do a brief duet singing in the same microphone. In the other instances I've seen Quasi, they never seemed to like each other, but she was giggling a lot, and having a good time. She was also looking much cuter than I recall.
Sam was again a maniac, but not as much as when he opened for Pavement, when he didn't have much balance. His "FRAGILE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT" isn't that fragile after all. He played it with his head and feet the last time I caught them, but this time he played it with his bum, which was awkwardly cool. He also tried to play it with his torso, which ended up looking like a frat boy grinding on a drunk chick at a bar. Knowing he hadn't done any crazy shit on the "FRAGILE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT," I worked my way up to the stage for the finale so I was a mere 10 feet from him playing his craziness. Don't worry, no one was there, so I wasn't blocking anyone's view.
Sebadoh was outstanding. I love how they followed up their alt-country-ish slower songs with one minute punk freak outs. They have a new drummer (who allegedly only knows 30 songs), so they were limited in their setlist. Dude and dude still switched bass and guitar and singing duties often, but it wasn't like their olden days when all of the band switched instruments, including drums.
Dude said something along the lines of, "These lights are really bright, I'm having a tough time seeing the crowd." I accidentally replied, slightly too loud, "That's because no one is here," which got a LOL out of a couple people standing near me. I don't think the band heard that though. Dude also gave an extended shout out to J. Mascis, so I think it's safe to say Dinosaur Jr. isn't going away anytime soon.
