my head hurts. I'm in pain. finally crashed at 6:00am. haven't drunk like that in years.
but fuck it was good!!!!!
that was one serious gig I saw last night. they played brilliantly. they kicked off with "Teenage Riot" of course and just worked their way through to "Trilogy". it was just the 4 of them on stage for the Daydream Nation songs. and although age has slowed them down someone somewhat (poor Steve looked like he was doing it tough on Silver Rocket) their professionalism was still 100%. Thurston was going off, playing like a man possessed. I love the way he plays guitar - it's so unique. and Kim Gordon was just her amazing self. how a woman of 55 years can look so friggin FIT is just mindblowing . she was dancing around the stage.
the encores were 3 or 4 songs off Rather Ripped and to be honest I probably enjoyed those songs the most - Reena, Incinerate, What A Waste, the ALMIGHTY Pink Steam and they also played The World Is Red from the "Confusion Is Sex" album. Bonus!
The crowd was great. I went to the mens during "Kissability" and all of the blokes taking a pee were singing
you've got kissability..... at each other!
brilliant.
Met an old friend there and I ended up hanging with him so that was cool.
Got a shirt Got a nice text message from somebody just as I was leaving. Was abit too drunkies to text properly so I gave up
I know the qualities abysmal, it's the best my shitty camera phone can do:
