I managed to catch the Verve Pipe do an exceptionally pleasant free show this week.  Not only did it exceed my expectations, but it made me actually re-consider my thoughts about them.  In my head, I'd always unreasonably put the up against the Verve. 

 

 I was at the Foo Fighters show last night.  It was my first experience with Lincoln Financial Field.  I also saw Queens of the Stone Age play.  It was just madness, but the kind I wanted to experience.

 I was at last night's Tori Amos show at the Met.

Also got a solo opening set from Bartees Strange, who I really like and did not expect to be on the bill for this gig.
