A good show certainly. A wild bunch, they: Kim smiling like her heart pumped prozac, Joey doing his guitar thang, Frank layered up in eyeliner and good ol’ Dave taking vocals on La La Love You.
One thing of note. I’ve been to three shows outside of Detroit now, once for Radiohead, once for The Shins, once for The Pixies. Defining characteristic of those three? Far and away the most polite shows I’ve ever been to. With the special advantage of seeing the same band on the same tour, once in Chicago and once in Detroit I can note distinct differences. Let’s just say that in Detroit the moshing directly behind me didn’t even stop for Caribou. Detroit, you’s a bunch of punks, on and off the court.
