Can't wait to see them this weekend. I have a feeling it's going to be one of those epic shows that I'll remember till I... can't.
...I'll be seeing them before you! Ha! Friday night baby, with Spoon opening.
That's the 3rd time I'll see Spoon, and I'll be seeing them a 4th time on 9/11. Heck, we're practically family.
I do like the new CD very much, and Slosh is right; it's much better than Neon Bible.
As I mentioned, I've seen Spoon twice already...

I win.
... and the National and Walkmen. The rest are a bunch of 2nd tier wannabes, so whatever. :D
The Walkmen opened for Spoon the first time I saw them...

...back in April of '09 at the Electric Factory in Philly. They did a nice job and rocked pretty hard. All in all they were among the best opening acts I've seen in quite some time. You knew I was joking about those other bands you're going to see, right?
As far as awesome opening bands, the best might have been Wild Turkey. They opened for Jethro Tull back in 1972 I believe. Glenn Cornick, who was the former bassist for Tull, left to form Wild Turkey. They were outstanding.
