I was also at the show. Alas, I was not able to stay for the whole show because the band didn't go on until 11:30. The opener ended at about quarter of ten, so we waited for over an hour before they brought out a friend to play violin and sing. He spent about a half an hour performing before they brought out the water bottles and the band hit the stage. Since this was a weeknight, some of us had to be at work the next day. Either way, it's really unprofessional to keep an audience waiting for that long.

hi there - fyi, yes you are allowed to have links. and to answer the rest of the very very important questions posed here: i love music/live shows and i only aim to share my experience with you here. if my experience is being 30 rows back with a camera that doesn't zoom in close enough for you - then so be it, no one is forcing you to look at the post.

Whoa, who went into MT and stripped my perfectly relevant and completely safe for work links to http://kathrynyu.com/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathryn/sets/104215/ out, way after my comment was submitted?Are we not allowed to link in comments now, Gothamist? If so then just disallow the a tag in MT and say no links. If not, then where'd my links go?

Wow, such harsh criricism. Thank God it's not a pay site. So sorry you wasted all that energy clicking that link, so that your eyes and sensibilty would be offended by such mediocre(at best) pictures and pointless reviews.

but really, with pictures like that...seems kind of hard.Agreed! Kathryn Yu has a bunch of lovely photos from last night's show, we were standing right by the stage.

Arcade Fire are so 2004.

The point is: "I scored tickets to a hard-to-get-into show for the hot band of the moment, and you didn't, so nyah. Also, I have a camera phone."

what's the point of these reviews? the pictures are mediocre at best and there's really very little review. it seems like you're trying to give people an idea of what it was like at the show, but really, with pictures like that...seems kind of hard.
