Justin Timberlake is for fat ugly moms!

Think the bluegrass band is actually called Citigrass, if you're having a hard time googling it. They are great, though.

Explosions set list~~~???
I thought it was intense! Rain sucked @ first but really got into it. Maybe I was too high, but did it seem kinda short???
Posted by Pedro | July 1, 2009 1:03 AM
it was pretty short (about an hr and 15, maybe a little less)... they played a lot longer last time they were here at T5 and Crazy Donkey. still, kickass show..
Posted by Anonymous | July 1, 2009 1:11 AM
setlist was something like (correct me if i'm wrong)...
Yasmin
Birth and Death
Song for our Fathers
Greet Death
Snow and Lights
A Poor Man's Memory
Catastrophe and the Cure
The Only Time We Were Alone
and i didn't know so many stoners liked EITS. the whole place smelled like weed

Your Hand In Mine in between Fathers and Greet Death and it should be right...

I liked how they played some older stuff - great show. The end was epic, although I feel like they went off too early.

how long did it rain in central park?
Posted by Anonymous | July 1, 2009 1:54 AM
Munaf's guitar kept crapping out on him for a few songs, but they covered it nicely...
rain was long gone by the time Explosions went on

I wish there were more weed smokers in this world! Love smoking for shows especially for bands like Explosions in a beautiful setting like last night....
Here's to them hoping they will come back to NYC with the Flaming Lips!
Congrats to 10 years!

Great fucking show. And! Hotboxed my first port-a-potty. Fun!

The post-show comments confirm my suspicion that only morons, kids, and moron-kids listen to Explosions in the Sky.
Pot is so, so kewl.
Go die in a fire, hippies.

"Rain sucked @ first"
What rain?

i like explosions in the sky and this was the first time i saw them live. Surprisingly, I thought last night's concert was a bit boring. Maybe that's why so many people there were high.
The last song (The only moment we were alive)was a really great song to finish on.

Boring? Really? Woah, I thought the show was motherfucking intense. The band was great....absolutely VILE crowd though, seriously, if you would rather talk loudly and rudely through a show like this instead of listening to the music, please, do us all the favor and stay the fuck home next time. EITS is not a band that is meant to be played over social hour.

Past EITS shows (Bowery, Knitting Factory) were a lot better. If they are going to place on the bigger stages with the big boys, they need to step up their game. The lighting was just the default ones provided. The concert would have been better in August since it was still sunny when they first started playing.
Can't believe how many people stuck around chanting for an encore. Suckers.

Wow. Lighten up dude, it was an outdoor EITS concert, wtf did you expect?

Not that I condone the talking but I certainly accept it. That said, did anyone else experience the clapping guy all the way in the back? About half way through the set this dude just wouldn't stop clapping, I don't know what song it was but it was a real quiet part and he was trying to get the crowd all riled up. It was very odd.

out of the 4 times i've seen them last night was probably the least best (but still great)
