Bill Ellison

So my back’s no longer sore from standing for four hours. That’s means two things: I’m old/out of shape, and it’s time to post my recap ya’ll.

Yeah, so even though I didn’t get to hear a few songs I really wanted to, the show was amazing. Boy was it. Much better than I expected it to be, honestly. Lead singer Jeremy Enigk sounded incredibly clean and crisp, considering his vocal style.

Damn right that’s my fat melon back there. Cameo, son! I’m pretty sure that was taken during the Jealous Sound’s opening set, since there were way more (interested-looking) people during Sunny Day Real Estate.

I gotta say though, the highlight of the night was the dude standing two rows up from us, holding up his iphone lighter app to the music. Yeah. Homeboy looked to be in the throes of emotional ecstasy, so I’m gonna assume he wasn’t being ironic. And that’s a whole other level of don’t-give-a-fuckitude I’m not even aware existed.

Were you there? What’d you think? Do you feel you got your 99 cents worth out of your lighter app?

*Here’s the setlist I found for the rest of the tour dates. Seems to be the same everytime (save for the encores) so I think it’s a safe bet:

  • Friday
  • Seven
  • Shadows
  • Song About An Angel
  • Grendel
  • Guitar and Video Games
  • Iscarabaid
  • Theo B
  • New Song
  • 47
  • J’Nuh
  • Sometimes

    Agreed…I was in a state of bliss after the show…great set list, great performance at least from Sunny Day. Although I still can’t decide if Jealous Sound sucked, or the lead singer just creeped me out too much. And all their songs sounded like one giant song idk…

    If you can find a setlist somewhere, I’d love to see it.
