I can't give you a set list because I only can recognize about three songs of theirs by name.

They came on a little before 9 and the crowd went wild. They played incredibly. One of the best shows I've ever seen and for someone who was a fan in passing(meaning I liked it if someone played them for me just never actively sought them out) I'm officially hooked. There was a lot of playfulness and conversations between members(which most of us in the back couldn't understand due to sound) and that was cool.

The Aragon usually annoys me but it was great and the sound was pretty damn ok too.

They played their set and then did only a two song encore. Then they left the stage and the crowd assumed they'd come back but nope.

They only played about an hour and a half. Which Josh assumes is since they are playing 5 nights straight sold out.

Spence, Ryan and Matt- You guys are going to have a blast! Only you guys get better opening bands. We came later so we didn't have to see The Datsuns.

Oh, and beware the long beer line when you first walk in. People stand in it forever as keeps growing. Then you later discover there are three bars upstairs and one in the men's room. HA

Coming to Toronto next week, and I cannot wait! It's been 6 months I have had these tickets just collecting dust here, but next Wednesday, I can dust them of and finally, finally see them!

Horray!

Yeah, it was awesome. My ears are still ringing. They played 'Gigantic' as an encore at our show as some douche bag fan got up on stage and started screaming into the mic like a 12 yr. old girl. I was pleasantly suprised by the Aragon, though. I've never been there before and thought it was a great venue. I was scared that they were going to have seats, but low-and-behold it was an open floor. Also, I didn't realize how close it is to the Riveria. I'll try and get a set list up later if anyone is interested. I bought one of the live cd's...and a t-shirt. How big of a dork am I?

The Walkmen put on a good set as well, but it was too bad that they had an aging indie hipster crowd that just stood there staring blank at the stage. I lost the majority of my hearing during their set. I kinda blew off the Bows+Arrows album as not sticking, but I think I might have a new found respect for them after this.

Afterthought:
$6 beers...what a rip-off.

going tomorrow. i haven't been to the Aragon since 1993 so I have no recollection of how it is.

I thought the same way so I didn't get a shirt but I saw this chick with one on a week later and wished I had picked one up.

It was the army green one with "Pixies Sell Out" on it with all the tour dates.

That's the one I got.
