there you go.

last time i saw rem at walnut creek it was rainy and dismal

bill berry showed up and drummed, so that was awesome

1/29/2008 1:00:01 PM

Walnut Creek might actually have a pretty good summer after last years suckfest.

REM/Modest Mouse/The National
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Well at least those two shows are better than all of last summer.

1/29/2008 1:01:40 PM

i think rem might have been the last show i saw there

1/29/2008 1:05:17 PM

[old]

1/29/2008 1:42:31 PM

I didn't know that REM was even still around.


I am gonna go and scream "Play Superman" over and over again until Michael Stipes assaults me, then I am gonna sue.

1/29/2008 1:55:28 PM

Historically Tom Petty puts on really shitty shows at Walnut Creek.

1/29/2008 3:01:58 PM

argh, absolutely zero interest in seeing REM, who is undoubtedly the headliner

1/29/2008 3:03:03 PM

^^i went to his last show and it was probably the best show i've seen there (but that is not saying much)

and after seeing the national at cat's cradle it will be a let down to see them here

Your statement seems to imply that you think Modest Mouse should be the headliner. Surely you don't really think that?

1/29/2008 3:25:02 PM

I'll go

1/29/2008 3:28:26 PM

rem is on the list of bands i must see....seen concert dvds and they're amazing live. not to mention they're arguably the greatest american band or were... at least until they signed to warner bros.

1/29/2008 4:09:56 PM

Nah, don't think MM should headline *over* REM, simply saying I would pay to see a concert Modest Mouse headlines, but won't pay to see a show REM headlines.

Matter of taste.

1/29/2008 4:59:26 PM

i'm gonna be all over this...when do tickets go on sale?

1/29/2008 7:15:08 PM

anyone heard anything else about this?

i was there that night - i thought the show was subpar at best - the grass was only about 1/3 full as well

ohemgee, i'm so going.

3/9/2008 4:37:49 PM

lol just make sure you dont go broke

3/9/2008 4:42:57 PM

so why does Michael Stipe use a teleprompter?

Is this common(i assumed no which is why i'm asking why he uses one)?

I'm watching a previous live show on direcTV now where he is using one, and he also is using one here at langerado(i'm in the front row in the yellow-ish shirt right above "EL" in the michael weintrob watermark ):

When you've been writing songs professionally for 25 years, it's hard to remember the words to all of them.

It's fairly common with older guys.

5/17/2008 4:53:17 PM

makes sense.

plus i just wanted an excuse to post that pic.

5/17/2008 4:55:57 PM

bttt

one more week

6/2/2008 9:37:43 PM

me n Officer Cat gonna go see them in dc

6/2/2008 9:58:18 PM

I may have an extra ticket section 8 row H for face value ($75) if anyone wants it

6/4/2008 3:33:29 PM

Did anyone else see that "doors open at 5:30, show starts at 6:30"?

It's as important for me to see The National as it is either REM or Modest Mouse, and they're going to go on at 6 -fucking -30, are you shitting me?

People have jobs, bitch... and rush hour traffic to get home thru in order to get to your shitty venue on the complete opposite side of Raleigh.

Fuck you walnut creek.

i'm really jealous that people are going just to see REM and have no clue who the national are

6/9/2008 10:45:51 AM

^ no kidding. Truth be told, had I not already seen The National twice, I would say they were my #1 priority tomorrow instead of just equal priority to Modest Mouse and REM.

I'm going to be one pissed off motherfucker if I miss them.

It's bad enough that The National and Modest Mouse are only getting 10 songs a piece compared to REM's 25, and now to find out they're going on at 6:30?

6/9/2008 11:18:32 AM

I'll go if someone gives me free tickets.
No lie.
Hook it up brother.

6/9/2008 4:03:16 PM

i'm driving down from greensboro for this...having to use up time off from work does suck.

6/9/2008 6:57:51 PM

my dad just call and said he has 2 free tickets for us

i told him i'd only go if we were able to make it to see the national

WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES

6/9/2008 7:07:15 PM

this guy at work sent out an email saying he was selling two tickets for the modest mouse/rem show tonite

no mention of the national

6/10/2008 12:18:57 PM

Who gives a fuck

6/10/2008 2:08:17 PM

I hate everyone going to this because I am insanely jealous.

6/10/2008 2:18:26 PM

^ I know someone practically trying to give away 2 tickets.

If you were in the RTP area, you should've piped up yesterday, dude!

I'm leaving work at 3, being picked up by friends to go to the show so no worries about driving, and I'm taking tomorrow off.

This is gonna be a fucking blast.

6/10/2008 2:32:14 PM

i'd go if rem wasn't playing.

just got the national "boxer"

better than i expected.

6/10/2008 4:04:22 PM

yeah i told my dad i'm only going if we can get there in time for the national

6/10/2008 4:12:51 PM

I can still get really great tix. But the problem is that I am working.

i'd be jealous if it wasn't so damn hot outside

6/10/2008 4:41:36 PM

and it looks like we're going

6/10/2008 4:44:03 PM

Harbourcoat opener. Fucking awesome!

6/10/2008 9:13:35 PM

As a side note, I heard The National playing in Food Lion the other day. Was weird.

6/10/2008 9:53:18 PM

I <3 MM. I wish I could have gone.

6/10/2008 11:37:55 PM

I know i will be alone in this opinion, but the national were terrible. Maybe if I could see them somewhere smaller. But they were just completly uninspiring.

6/10/2008 11:42:29 PM

^are you fucking kidding me? the national was the best part of the entire night. r.e.m. were awesome too. modest mouse was hit and miss and overall pretty boring.

6/11/2008 12:02:09 AM

the national surprised me by how well they adapted to such a large venue

modest mouse was WAY better than the last time i saw them and they actually played more pre-good times tracks than post (including doin' the cockroach which i went apeshit for)

i could care less about r.e.m.

6/11/2008 12:20:05 AM

did they play Radio Free Europe?

they didn't when I saw em at langerado.

I was tripping with lucy in the sky, and when they left after the encore and didn't play RFE, i was epicly upset, lol. I was confused and upset and didn't want to leave my spot that i chilled at literally all day.

but I eventually did

6/11/2008 12:27:44 AM

set em up
