i went to the show. thanks to the really cool guy who hooked me up with the spare ticket.
the venue was pretty awesome. first time ive been there. i got there late so i went up to the balcony and ended up standing next to Lee watching the Hold Steady play. I finally got to meet him. he was in a rush afterwards but Lee is definitely one cool guy.
The new songs are fucking awesome. they remind me of psychic hearts-type rock songs but Lee was really tearing it up. I absolutely loved how aggresive the songs sound. seriously, the next album is going to save my fucking life. i need it. i can only imagine how amazing these songs are going to sound when they're recorded. i was actually surprised by how much daydream stuff they played. i thought that was cool but i was hoping more of their other stuff (i saw them at the ddn tour).
jams run free was seriously top notch. i hated how i wasn't really around people who were dancing because that song is just amazing. people should fucking dance to it!
steve shelly blows my mind everytime i see him. and Kim.
