I just heard about this and grabbed tickets. $35 a pop. Yeah, it's in Jersey. Yeah, I don't know if Spankrock is opening. But $35 sure as hell beats $70 at MSG.

Anyone going?

where in Jersey City?

Loews Theater. Tickets are available on Ticket Web.

dude.
its the best theatre in the world, going also btw.
check it out.

youll be fucking floored when you walk in.

btw, its literally outside of journal square, just take a path train and BOOP, youre there.

Awesome! I've heard that place is amazing. So psyched.

I'm not actually interested in going to this show, I just didn't know that there was a place in Jersey City where they did shows.

Looks nice though.

don't dog NJ. you are from Ohio right?

Yeah, but I live in Brooklyn.

And I actually like Jersey. Ohio girls don't move to New York to live in Jersey, though, and going to a concert in Jersey is typically less attractive to a lot of people than going to a concert in the city.

im planning on crashing my moms and opening a wine or 3 if youd like to join... that a few blocks away though.
youd actually BE in jersey city at that point.

interesting. i would think a place like the PNC Arts Center is much more comfortable then any place in the city. i could be wrong however, it has happened before.

and less expensive

Is there any update on Spankrock?

just emailed dudes.

will let you know when i hear back.

Does anyone know how Beck's new CD is? His last CD was really good, I'm surprised he came out with another one so quickly. I love the guy (with the exception of the Country album )

it comes with stickers so you can decorate it yourself

for that reason alone i'd say it's worth getting.

I like it, just got it though. Need to give it some more listens.

i might go see beck but i am def going to go see dracula and draculas daughter there on the 27th.

pfft the killers are playing saturday

COOL DISCO MC SPANK ROCK IS OPENING

naeem and chris and ron and pase and alex and amanda go on at 8.

i guess i'll go.

NICE!

So glad I didn't spring for MSG tickets.

so? how was it?

Mini review:

1) All promises about how awesome the venue was were spot on. Super old ornate theater = great. I hope they do more stuff there aside from movies.

2) That said, it was a totally freaking weird joint to see Spankrock. The theater was not full yet, and they're going buck wild on stage while the crowd sat in their seats. I felt dirty, almost, sitting while they went nuts. Watching 40 year olds shake in their chairs to "Shake it Til My Dick Turns Racist" was priceless, though.

3) Beck puts on a SHOW. He opened with "Loser," went straight into "Black Tambourine," and kept the energy up until he went into the whole sing a song while playing the guitar mellower stuff. The mellow bit lasted too long, but he more than made up for it with the rest of the band jamming out with table setting percussion (they had a full dinner table set up for the band members while he did his singer w/ a guitar thing). One of the coolest things I've seen at a concert ever. The puppet show was beyond amazing, too, and the Jersey City video at the end was amazing. I have no idea what the fuck was going on during the encore when they came out in bear suits and someone fell on a drum kit, but awesome overall. The "Two Turntables and a Microphone" second encore was killer, too. I'd never seen Beck live and would totally do it again.

Two super enthusiastic thumbs up.

damn i wish i had gone. i like Beck man.

Did he play Devil's haircut?

yep.

Yep. Pretty much everything you would want to hear him play, he did. The only song I was disappointed with was "Debra." I think that song is so and it was a little lost in translation.

And the puppet show was crazytown. Behind all the band members on the stage they had a little mini stage set up with 4 puppeteers controlling puppets of all the band members, including the Napoleon Dynamite-ish tambourine/xylephone player/back up dancer. The puppet show that was mimicking the live show was shown on a big ass video screen above the band. Totally .

What else did he play????

Here's what I remember (in no particular order):

Loser
Black Tambourine
Debra
Two Turntables & a Microphone
Girl
Hell Yes
Clap Hands
E-Pro
Broken Drum
a bunch of stuff from the new album

And I'm forgetting a bunch.

if you search "beck loews" on youtube, pretty muchthe whole show is up on there.

!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome. That shit was so off the hook. Nice find, Joe. Seeing it on Youtube doesn't do it justice, but it's far better than any description I could give.
