By the third and final night of these concerts, the crowd had gotten so bold that not only did they stand, they rushed to the lip of the stage to cheer on The Hold Steady as they rocked out hard. It was no surprise since openers Titus A brought the show down to them (them being a bunch of brash and seemingly intoxicated teenagers) as lead man Patrick Stickles opened their set screaming from the front row. Couldn't imagine Andrew Bird doing that.

The second night of the run had the fans starting to loosen up a bit and standing by BTP's set, even though someone in the auduence asked the band if it was O.K.? Yeah, rock 'n' roll!
I heard a couple complaints that Atlas Sound (Deerhunter's Bradford Cox) went on too long with his droney-loopy-electronica tunes but I rather enjoyed it.
Built To Spill were, well, Built To Spill. You kind of know what you are getting with these guys and that's just fine with their fans. Another review here (with awesome pictures I might add!).

Apart from a little rant after these shows, I haven't mentioned much about these concerts here.
This first night was by far the most civil. Kurt Vile opened the run and apart from bringing along The War on Drugs' Adam to gunsling, his set was very similar to the Warhol gig back in March.

Considering Andrew Bird was solo, he usually brings the quiet to a room. People love to see this guy for his 'musicianship' but I prefer his studio stuff more. The respectful audience stayed attentive and in their seats for the show which would definitely change for the next two nights.
