Great show, fantastic sound.
Although they played an odd setlist with so many Daydream Nation songs, they managed to slip in some interesting songs from the older albums. I don't recall having heard Mote live before, so I really enjoyed that one. Drunken Butterfly and Silver Rocket (which I thought appeared earlier on in the show) made a very big impression.
Thurston seemed indeed very 'absent' and isolated from the rest. I had also the impression that that resulted in very thight versions of their songs, not that many noise explosions or interaction with Lee. Lee was very present with good vocals and the apparent hesitation to give the fans what they demanded ('Sunday'). And Kim... two words: cool & fresh.
A very good show after last years fantastic interpretation of Daydream Nation at Pukkelpop.
