As soon at they walked on the stage, I had a permanent smile on my face. These guys KILLED it. Every last song had the crowd either singing along, or just flat out screaming and "WOOOOO"ing at the top of their lungs. I felt bad for not knowing their songs, especially listening to it nonstop on a daily basis. RUSH and I, again, got in the front row as we did at the Big Boi show, and didn't budge. We got both got some awesome photos, and I recorded my FAVORITE song, "The Ghost Inside", as well as "The High Road." We also got some awesome(expensive) schwag. T-Shirts and a Matchbox....with matches in it of course. This show was perhaps one of the greatest experience I've had in awhile at a live performance. The best part-they sounded EXACTLY as they did on their record. I loved that. The performed eight songs to open the show, then for some reason, they just walked off stage! No one knew whether that was the end of their show, or what. They didn't wave or anything. But every second of the wait, the crowd got louder and more excited. Then out of nowhere, James Mercer comes back on stage with a bottle of beer in his hand, followed the rest of the band. These guys definitely know how to work the crowd. They performed four more songs, and closed out with a SICK instrumental. One by one they each left the stage in about 2 minute intervals, each waving at us before their exit.
From entrance to exit, these guys were total crowd pleasers. Sadly, the Broken Bells conclude their nation wide tour tonight (6/11/10) in Athens, GA at the 40 Watt Club.
Below are a few photos I took of the show, and beneath those are the two live performances of "The Ghost Inside" and "The High Road"
