The setlist had shaking hell and some other stuff on it, but they didn't play it. Fuck, man.
The lips were great, though. Definitely one of the best shows I've ever been to despite the Youth Sucking it up.
I was up against the fence, right in the middle. It was sweet.

Shortly after I got there the wind shifted and it started to rain, nobody wanted to give up their good spots and everyone was reluctant to move at first but security started yelling at us to seek shelter so we did. IT RAINED. The rain let up just a little and everyone started running towards the stage to meet security waving their arms to send us back. (funny scene by the way, a large crowd running back and forth in a down pour
)
...we waited some more in the cold rain.
The show definately didn't suck, it was much better and more energetic than the Milwaukee show (that show wasnt great and I blame it all on the terrible crowd). I liked the set list and if they would have just kept on going during Rapture? and made stuff up I dont think many people would noticed or cared. *thinks* I believe it was after teenage riot that thurston complimented a restaurant named Mickey's for "having a kickass sortof lunch/late brunch meal" and asked the crowd if they knew if Mickey's was good for a late-night meal also. Also, about half way thru, Lee states, "It turned out to be a nice evening." Which it actually did!
Only a few gripes; people were more excited to see Wayne come out and walk around the stage during set-up than they were to hear Sonic Youth. Also, when Flaming Lips' drummer came out and waved at the crowd during set-up most people were just like "...ahh heeey, ...ah*waves* oH, HEY... YEAHHHHHHH!" it was hilarious.
That's all for now, any questions? good.
