shit was SO LOUD and SO AWESOME

This show probably was wayyy better than the pool party. And hotter, easier girls too!

it was pretty awesome

They destroyed.....once again.

Wish I could have gone to both. Its possible to like both bands you know. But the waterfront show was worth it.

they played on the stage... and it was good!

the show was awesome! Bummed that Grizzly Bear was the same day but I've seen GB a couple times this year and Lightning Bolt doesn't come around nearly as much.

enjoy beach house and grizzly bear tons, but lightning bolt almost never plays and getting your bones smashed/ears blown/face melted right before the end of summer trumped all.

LIGHTNING BOLT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

standing on pebbly grass under a shady train trestle watching really great bands is a great way to spend a sunday afternoon

ewww... this concert looks gross!

topless asian chick with mullet, crowd surfing --> A+ (^ o ^)

are the lightning bolt dudes playing on a STAGE? Since when do they do that?

^ chippendale said they wanted the audience to see how much they really suck. crowd laughed.

crowd looks grody...seems like the people there needed some post-show rain

Anyways--who's the hottie in the green dress? http://www.brooklynvegan.com/img/music/talknormal/20.jpg

I'm sorry...but in that second Talk Normal pic, the female drummer is the spitting image of David Johansson of the New York Dolls.

...and as always at a ToddP show, some 17-year old drinks one too many bottles of Mike's Hard Lemonade, and ends up a pukey, slobbery mess. Well done, Dan Deacon-esque guy in the vest and Casualties t-shirt! I hope you found your way onto the train tracks, you disgusting pile of baby fat.

Yeah, where are the pictures of the topless asian chick?

as usual, bv commenters' relentless need to say supposedly funny crass shit trumps the fact that this was a genuinely magical day. one of those shows you remember.

they said they will probably be back this year. around late october-early november.

mann, i love snarky bklynvgn comments and i had fun. keep on bitching each other out guys!

Talk Normal are the best

>
ahahaha. I know this guy and he's actually 33.

they played on a stage at primavera for the first time in like 7 years

Go Away Silly Little HIPSTERS!! Youre not wanted here any more!

I wonder how many people got paid to "push the crowd around" at this one.

anyone got a setlist?

I wonder how terrible 2:46's band must be

I was the Dude in the football Jersey, man i have never seen so many women with armpit hair in my life. Also, show was pretty epic much goes out to the topless Asian girl and that dude i elbowed lol.

this concert does look gross. I second that

why did they play on stage ???

Gross? What are you talking about you fucking yuppies?

What a gross show filled with gross people, i couldnt bare stand beside that mess. I went to the grizzly bear show where it had class and Jay-z was there!!!

somehow spreading my blanket and picnicking in a secluded grassy lot with great music seems a lot less gross to me than standing all day a cement slab staring at a setting sun in what's basically a superfund site, surrounded by wannabe indie yuppies and blog photographers

pretty amazing to think of all the generations of hipster/art fags lightning bolt has played for...they have been doing it for a while and has always seemed like the coolest thing around...and i dont even like their music!...fort thunder=legends

I go to shows to see the bands I like play their music. Worst part was how long it took between sets, and that was just because there was no stage hands. I thought Talk Normal was really great and Lightning Bolt were amazing, as always. Who cares what the crowd looks like? That's gross. Not the show.

I think most of the people that went to lightning bolt show are the people who like to shit talk on BV anonymously and call other people "yuppies" and "hipsters" yet they themselves are....

struggling artists? Bike messengers?
Do tell?

They are certainly dirty and have shit taste in music

^ You're shit talking on BV, so, what does that make you? Do tell? You have shit taste in fairness and objectivity.

saw them tonight in Philly.

The Unitarian Church is a great basement venue.

man, they rock.

hmm...interesting use of caps 2:36 pm

Did they play on a stage in Philly?

Rocks would have prolly been kicked inside the drum or at Brian

so i can give him the BOTD for playing on stage :(

the show was over by 7:30. how long could it have possibly taken between sets?

sure sounds like a complaint someone who wasn't even there would make, and nice damning with faint praise, by the way...

this thread only proves it, there are pretty much three varieties of people who comment on this blog:

1 - music people who have to follow this stuff because it's their lives everybody is shit talking. They're defensive and shit talky themselves, but hey it's their lives that are being talked about.

2 - teenagers and first year college student music nerds who are not especially knowledgeable or cool. They tend to amplify and repeat whatever everybody else is getting laughs saying.

3 - friendless early 30's cubicle types who used to listen to good edgy music and live alt-y lifestyles, but now are entry level yuppie libertarians who think Grizzly Bear and Of Montreal are geniuses. They tend to presume everybody shares their uptight tastes and prejudices, and that the fact of their personal tastes getting blander is a sign of cultural superiority and wisdom. They are not especially knowledgeable or cool.

group 3 are obviously the worst, the judgey-est of everybody else, and the easiest to set off. They're the most defensive and the hardest to reason with.... probably because they're leading the unhappiest lives of the bunch.

11:30 ... interesting demehgraphic summary, so which one of these three are you?

the meh guy is so annoying that he exists outside the typical three tiers.

the "let's endlessly repeat an injoke" people don't deserve to be classified because they should, by all means, be ignored until they go away.

You forgot group 4, the people who lack self-awareness and make lists.

12:21 should go read high fidelity a few more times

i have read it

I haven't

This thread is ending with a bang!
