What a blast we had last night at the Mann in Philly. After a rather noisy and uninteresting opening by Kurt Vile, a Philly-based guy and his band, the place was jammed, at least the part of the amphitheater that's under roof. From the moment they set foot on the stage, everyone was on their feet, singing along too all the familiar tunes. After the opening song, Malkmus commented about all late-comers who were getting beer and said they must have been expecting a track from 'Terror Twilight', a record that he clearly doesn't like so much. It sure made me chuckle.
I got a couple decent videos on my Droid X, so I'll try to share one or two in the near future. We were in the 7th row, stage left, and Malkum was setup on that side of the stage, so they were excellent seats. Here are the songs that I can recall them playing, and all my favorites are hear, save 'Summer Babe'.
Malkmus had some other funny dialog, most of which I've forgotten at this point, thanks to the copious amounts of Negra Modello and Victory Hop Devil I drank, but he had a 7 or 8 second belch in the mic at the start of the second encore than cracked me up.
What a great show and the band sounded even tighter than they do on their cds, if you can believe that. Here are the songs they played, although not exactly in this order:
Grounded, Elevate Me Later, Cut Your Hair, Kennel District, Frontwards, Box Elder, Conduit for Sale, Unfair, Fight This Generation, In The Mouth a Desert, Rattled By The Rush, Shady Lane, Silence Kit, Spit on a Stranger, Starlings of the Slipstream, Stereo, Two States, We Dance, Range Life
First Encore - Date with Ikea, Stop Breathin', Trigger Cut
Second Encore - Gold Soundz, Here
