Black Keys: At first I thought it was great. Real cool that it was just two guys. The sound was huge and the drums just got inside you. But after about 3 songs it all sounded the same.
DC: I thought it was lame. Uninteresting really to me.
Beck: That is why I was there. I think he is fantastic. I think the show was perfect. He got everybody going by playing all his old, familiar, rocking tunes and then essentially gave us a set of his slow mellow songs. Older tunes. Then he moved into Sea Changes and more rocking tunes. I think the crowd went wild.
I thought the set itself and the way it moved from rocking, mellow, and rockin again was great.
Sea changes is my least favorite record BTW. Odelay is well worth having.
I too felt pretty old, lots of 14-18 year olds. I can't help but feel sorry for those kids. I couldn't imagine having high school, college and all the years after still ahead of me. But then again to be 14 and seeing Beck would have been pretty cool.
There were also a suprising # of familiar faces.
I say it was a real fun night. I love that music that just gets everyone dancing. I'm a sucker.
