Fourty Different Shades of Black

Another week, another Pavement show. The band I only saw once in 1995, I have now seen twice in the span of a few months. But last night's show was not a festival set. It was 2 hours of indie rock by the Godfathers themselves. Under the stars at Millenium Park's Pritzker Pavilion, Steve said it was weird to be playing there, but I thought it was the perfect setting.

They gave a tour through all their albums (with Terror Twilight getting the step child treatment again). A double encore with everyone's picks to click getting played, it was a great night.

To quote the band, "See ya in 10 years!"
