Man Man was awesome and I especially appreciate the fact that they are one of the few bands I can think of that is experimenting with live stage setup with positive results.

I saw Man Man earlier this year both at a small venue here in Buffalo & with Modest Mouse. I encourage everyone to ge see them- one of those bands that you must see live to truly appreciate. The last concert I went to was the Besnard Lakes show last weekend, & wednesday I'll be going to see This Will Destroy You with Portugal. The Man & the Photo Atlas.

Last show was Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Webster Hall. They had one of the worst openers I've ever seen -- two little girls about 12 years old screeching attempts at punk songs with a hairy looking dude on drums. I mean, I see crappy openers all the time but this was the first one I ever thought was morally wrong. Then Karen and Nick and co. come on and Karen is wearing a spangly cape with a spangly hat over a gypsy/dominatrix/superhero outfit and they just kick nine kinds of ass finishing up with one of the best renditions of Tick I've ever heard them play. Karen was grinning like an idiot the whole time and her enthusiasm was infectious -- she seemed genuinely elated to be playing NYC.
The show before that was Amanda Palmer at Mercury Lounge, and all I'm going to say about that was she played a toy ukelele in the encore while the dude who she is clearly sleeping with who fronted the opener (Aberdeen City) did soto voce lyrics to "Creep", and the crowd was practically in tears.
celticgeek:
The last shows I saw were Celtic Woman and Loreena McKennitt.
Lovely, lovely, lovely, both shows. And no crappy openers, either.

Uh...I think mine may have been Nick Cave, over a year ago. Unless you count the ones I've put on since then.
