Here’s a link to the mp3 files of YLT’s Seattle show on their Freewheelin’ Tour last October. Nice set and sound quality.

GAH! "Do You Like Rock Music" – would have been SO perfect [smirk]… wish I’d thought of that… all I could come up with was the odd venue question – though that did bring up the synagogue (!?) LOL!

Any of the BSP boys hanging around should have asked the Rock Music question, though [GRIN].

Thanks for the contest, was great to catch a concert at the berkley, first time I’ve wandered in to the venue and boy is it a great one for small shows!

Frank – thanks for the recap, and again for the suggestion. Yes, they were both excellent sets, in very different ways. Polar opposites, even. BSP just rocked. Loved the new stuff, "The Great Skua" was a revelation live (though I’ve always been partial to a good instrumental) and "True Adventures" was sublime. I believe the last tune was their standard set-closer, "Rock in A", but corrections are welcome.

Yo La Tengo’s set was magical, and the Q&A format was a lot of fun. As is often the case, you don’t think of the questions you want to ask until after the opportunity has gone by. Some things that came to mind: "Do you think you’re better looking than Garry Shandling?" "Could you spell ‘Gettysburg’?" "Are you going to use that capo, or is it just there to look pretty?" and, of course, "Do You Like Rock Music?"

Thanks for the contest – the show last night was immense. I came away a YLT convert, though only went in a casual fan… and BSP were BRILLIANT, as always… actually has me looking FORWARD to the fact that I get to see them again in a couple weeks… thanks for this. Can’t wait to see how they cut and edit BSP since it all flowed so much [smirk]. We’ll see…

Billy Bragg tickets go on sale today at 1pm. Radiohead on Saturday at 10am through ticketmaster (ughhh). I can’t wait to see the service fee charges on those two.
