What a fantastic show! DD sounded so great and our seats were excellent. I was a bit surprised to see that there were so many empty seats. Many more than I would have thought. There was even an entire section almost completely empty (near the back middle of the garden). Strange. A lot of people missed out on an amazing show.
Ima Robot was good. I like their sound but they didn't get a good response from the audience. The lead singer seemed extremely cocky for someone that I would guess most people in the audience hadn't ever heard of. They might have gotten a better welcome had they been hyped up a little more. I didn't even know there would be an opening act and if so, who it was going to be. I had to laugh though when the biggest applause/cheer they got was when they announced "this'll be our last song".
Saw many interesting wardrobe choices. There was a girl behind us who was wearing ankle boots with hot pink socks rolled over the top. Lots of glitzy shirts, big hair and even a few folks daring enough to wear the (tmi) leather pants.
When did going to a concert become like seeing a hockey game? There were so many vendors walking around screaming "popcorn, peanuts, red rope". I thought I should have been listening to some AC/DC watching my Winterhawks warm up. Haha. I was thankful for my Strawberry lemonaide thought.
Hey Claire, were with the group that had the "Portland Feeling So Nice" sign?
