I was at this show, too. We sat - yes, sat, cuz the Mrs. isn't standing much these days - on the second level, stage left.
one of the world's elite bands, stereolab "kicks it with a tasty groove", galvanizing and enchanting the rapt listener with churning, surging litebrite spacey loungepop. one of their songs i swear to god i was witnessing the aural equivalent of a catastrophic, yet supremely gorgeous and trance-inducing, supernova.
Yeah, it was kinda like that.
Since we didn't want to try to fight the crowd for too long, we didn't go in for the opening acts. Instead, we strolled a couple of blocks up Broadway to a Chinese restaurant. We wound up having dinner sitting next to three of the band members.
We bought 'em beer but they played OK anyway.
