couldn't agree more about spoon. Why why why why why isn't ga ga ga ga ga more of a staple? i guess they got the national tv circuit, but I'm still unsatisfied.

It was an awesome show. And thanks for the great review and pictures! I wish I had brought my camera but I would never have been able to take pictures like yours.

Great bands. Great show. Great seats. Great crowd. Couldn't ask for anything more. One of the best experiences at the Bowl that I've had so far.

Wow, I'm so sad I had to go out of town and miss this (had to sell my tickets, too). Ironically, I was in Austin.

Oh....and I was kinda hopin' he might do "Debra" since I hadn't heard him sing that one live for long while now. 10 years to be exact. Always a show-stopper.

Hearing Round the Bend and Lonesome Tears live with full orchestral strings was truly sublime. My section got so quiet you could practically hear a pin drop. Never heard Spoon or MGMT before but I really enjoyed their music. Moreover, the crowd really seemed to dig them, which made their sets all the more enjoyable. The Bowl never fails to attract some of the most fun and friendly crowds around. Looking forward to seeing Neil Diamond next month.

this show was GREAT, although we missed all of MGMT's set (due to worse than usual traffic). did anyone else notice that Beck sang "missing" a perfect fourth lower than is recorded on his cd? I tried to enjoy it, but it was just a tad too bitonal for me.
