Today being Columbus Day, October the 9th, and it being 75 degrees out with sunshine and blue skies, I took a nice walk after having downloaded this concert on to my I-pod. I ended up at Lauriol Plaza where I sat outside, enjoyed 4 margaritas and puerco masistas, and listened to the first half of this rocking show. It figures. Not that anyone is going to go back to revisit this comment after all this time, I'm compelled to add my two cents. I was about to say, I've often complained about how crowds in DC seem very detacted from the shows they go to see, almost as if they are afraid to be seen enjoying themselves, and I am frustrated to know that I missed a concert where this certaintly was not the case. The audience forced a second encore, and that is VERY rare for these parts. Good job Sleater-Kinney, and nicely done DC. You've given me hope for future shows. But will this only hold true for farewell tours? I hope not. I have a new found respect for S-K. These gals do (did) it right.Potsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17628405727114697845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-1154713271055962782006-08-04T12:41:00.000-05:002006-08-04T12:41:00.000-05:00I'll admit I'm generally a sucker for the Dischord...I'll admit I'm generally a sucker for the Dischord sound. I'll also admit that I'd be interested in seeing their full lineup. I liked their second formation, where James Canty was on drums and Rob Corddry's doppelganger was on bass. The other formations sucked. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just too nice. Maybe they really are pure shit. I'd need to see the full lineup to know for sure.Jumbo Slicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525227134450004928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-1154707761661578562006-08-04T11:09:00.000-05:002006-08-04T11:09:00.000-05:00Paah!

A 3.5 at best. They seem like nice guys and are fairly competent musicians, but the result is not so good. I guess it's nice when you can ride the coattails of your Dischord friends.<BR/><BR/>Erin is softer than Church music.Jumbo Slicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525227134450004928noreply@blogger.com
