Yeah I read a review that said their vocals were a bit off. I couldn't hear the vocals much because the speakers were behind me.

i thought they could have been a bit louder. i was right up the front both nights though, i don't know if that makes a difference.

ZEROpumpkins 02.21.2008 01:24 AM

Ahh! You went both nights, just like I wanted to. Who were you in front of, ohfuchsia?

Death & the Maiden 02.21.2008 04:07 AM

Yeah, they could have been louder, but their voices seemed too high. Kim's didn't though. Maybe it was just where I was sitting.

nonny 02.21.2008 04:47 AM

man you guys are so lucky!!! I had my tix to go see them on the 18th and then I couldnt go cos i was relying on getting there from the central coast and they were doing track work and I would have been stranded at a station for 3 hours and had to start uni at 8am on the tuesday so I was not happy!!! I tried to swap my tix at tickettek for the tuesday show and they wouldnt let me...... man i was so pissed...but its good to hear it was a good concert

ZEROpumpkins 02.21.2008 05:06 AM

That sucks, man. Sorry you couldn't come.

nonny 02.21.2008 05:17 AM

yeah i know....hopefully they will be out in another 2 years....fingers crossed

ZEROpumpkins 02.21.2008 05:58 AM

Hmm. If their next album comes out next year, perhaps 2009/10

nonny 02.21.2008 04:21 PM

haha yeah I know...but I did see them in 2004 and that was pretty cool!!! so they seem to come out every 2 years...so hopefully 2010 they will be back

ZEROpumpkins 02.21.2008 05:54 PM

Nurse tour would have kicked ass.

ZEROpumpkins 02.22.2008 01:20 AM

Cool. I was going to buy one but they were $20.

i was in front of lee both nights. i saw you actually, and i meant to say hi, but you were too far away and then i forgot. i was behind and to the left of you, with the red hair.
i had the barrier in front of lee on the second night...
oh yeah.. and i met them after the first show...hehe..

ZEROpumpkins 02.22.2008 02:25 AM

Ahh! I wanted to meet them, I just didn't know how. You shoulda said hi and we could have high fived, so we could have a cool meeting story to tell our fellow SYG members.

ohfuchsia 02.22.2008 02:31 AM

well i do enjoy a good high five, maybe next time.

ZEROpumpkins 02.22.2008 02:34 AM

What if there isn't a next time :(

idSuperego 02.22.2008 02:57 AM

Hey guys, I went to their amazing show on Monday, and yes, it was amazing! It was my first every concert as well :o Two things I'd like to talk about:

1. Kim Gordon didn't seem very ethusiastic AND she didn't sound very good. What was up with that?

2. Did anyone see the group of girls after the show who were waiting outside the theatre? Now, I'm not an expert on such matters, but is it just me or did they seem like (hot) groupies? :-P

lata.

EDIT: THREE things. 3. I was so close to Lee Ranadlo before the show started. I shoulda hi5ed him :(

The ones wearing the sorta glamorous dresses and high heeled shoes?

ZEROpumpkins 02.22.2008 03:22 AM

I think so. How old?

idSuperego 02.22.2008 03:26 AM

Hm...late teens to early 20's maybe?

ZEROpumpkins 02.22.2008 03:27 AM

Sweet. That's a tappable age for me.

idSuperego 02.22.2008 03:36 AM

Same for me :D

ZEROpumpkins 02.22.2008 03:42 AM

spekkie 02.23.2008 05:13 AM

spekkie 02.23.2008 11:39 AM

Who cares about it being crowded. I love rubbing shoulders with sweaty femaly SY fans.

fluxequalsrad 02.24.2008 12:51 AM

kim doesn't seem like she wants to play ...like ever.

idSuperego 02.24.2008 03:24 AM

^ True.

 

ZEROpumpkins 02.24.2008 03:40 AM

Did anyone catch that short snippet about Kim walking into a dress store and buying some designer clothes in the paper today? It was in the "S" liftout of the Herald.

yeah? I saw the Melbourne show and she seemed fine, into it etc. she put on a great gig. you've got to cut her some slack, she's got athritis in her hands so it's pretty taxing for her these days (she is 55).

but she was dancing around for the encore when she was bass-free. I was well impressed.

Death & the Maiden 02.24.2008 05:03 AM

Kim didn't seem too bad at the first Sydney show. I didn't think she was unenthusiastic, and she didn't sound too bad.

ZEROpumpkins 02.24.2008 05:06 AM

She never seems to smile.

Death & the Maiden 02.24.2008 05:11 AM

I have a few new favourite songs because of the show - The Sprawl, Hey Joni, 'Cross The Breeze.

Death & the Maiden 02.24.2008 05:12 AM

I'll have another concert at the Enmore Theatre in a few months - The Jesus and Mary Chain.

ZEROpumpkins 02.24.2008 05:33 AM

More like Jesus and Mary Lame.

kim was great when she sang, much better than in the albums, and seemed to enjoy it after about halfway
i even got a smile

lee's vocals were perfect too, though being at the front the bass was too strong and most of the time the vocals were drowned out (thurstons especially)


as for the space, i was 'second' standing row, with enough space around me to fit at least 2 other people...
