What an amazingly astounding show. It was incredible to see rock gods in their element, and to see the purity of their joy while going at it. I was able to stand two people-rows back from the stage by Steve. I met so many awesome people. What a great bunch of people Garbage fans. To be absolute and deliberate in being hokey, Garbage fans are definitely my kind of people. My name is Patrick Marshall. I am horrendous with names, so please, if you remember me, hit me up! Some pictures:  The setlist! Sorry for a blurry picture. I have an average phone camera and I was still jittery from excitement.  Me and Little Shirley! She is the coolest person ever. |

I was on Steve's side also, in the back of the crowd, but with such a small venue it was still only like 15 or so deep. They just rocked, came out and everyone was singing every word of the songs, a small venue like that makes it so that the hardcores who'll suffer Stubhub's bullshit (Or lucked out) are the ones who attend, it was a great vibe in the air and Shirley looked so happy the whole time, just a blast, Garbage is an incredible live band.

Yes, good show. I was right at the front. Such a small venue. The band was having a great time, I'd say the boys even more so. I had forgotten how great some of the songs sound live, although they could do without Shut Your Mouth, the "rapping" is, well, not Shirley's crowning moment. Anyway, I managed to get the set list, here's a photo. Great show.  |

pictures aren't showing up. They're showing up for me on both IE and Firefox??? What's the standard way of posting images - [img].jpg link[img], right? If not, I can definitely fix it if you point me the right way. Steve looked to be having a TREMENDOUS time. I didn't watch Duke too much because I was just enjoying the vibes in general and there were a lot of tall people in front of me. But it's good to hear that everyone all around had a blast. I really dislike Beautiful Garbage. Not the conversation. What I'm saying is, in spite of that, I actually really enjoyed the handful of BG songs they played. Things just generally sound more appealing live, I guess. Spoon - I think I met you. Were you standing out front with a setlist letting people take pictures? That's where I got my picture from. |

I was close to the Steve side (and I agree, he seems like he had a blast) as well. I regret not being a bit more aggressive and taking a post right in front of the pillers closer to the stage, as I was one of the first 150 or so in the building. I'm just not used to a general admission show in a small venue and was afriad it would become a mosh pit down there. Still, the fact that Shirley was 30 feet in front of me was awesome enough. I feel sorry for anyone under the rafters of the balcony, because when I moved back there for the encore so I could book it to the train, it sounded bad.

Spoon - I think I met you. Were you standing out front with a setlist letting people take pictures? That's where I got my picture from. Yeah, we did meet! That was me you photographed the setlist from. This has got to be the easiest venue to grab setlists from - the stage was litterally inches away from my face. Little Shirley was rocking it to the side of the stage, right? I was near the center toward Duke's end so couldn't tell but that must have been her. Oh, thumbs up to Control and Bad Boyfriend live - I was pleasantly surprised. |

Oh, thumbs up to Control and Bad Boyfriend live - I was pleasantly surprised. I'm actually not sure where she was in the venue. I think I saw her once going in and then got a full-on conversation going after the show. What a cool lady. I don't think I ever got her real name, so I have no idea how to hit her up other than on this board. What's your name again? We couldn't have met for anything more than 30 seconds, so I apologize for forgetting your name. Thanks so much for offering pictures of the setlist (that was genuinely a really cool thing to do); I'm not a big picture guy (obviously from the lack of pictures from the concert itself), but for whatever I found having a copy of it strangely important. |

I just exalted you twice in a day =P! What a cool story.
I think it was you? Or someone else I met?!? That wasn't on any social sites. I met so many people, it's hard to keep track of these thing.
