That if Peter Bjorn and John play in your area..................go and see them!
Me and Will got there pretty early, didn't know that they wouldn't go on until 10:30(tickets said 8pm) We were able to get our standing places pretty early on and right up next to the stage. It made the show even more enjoyable. There was two opening bands, one of which I cant remember their name(sorry) But the other was Chairlift. Both were great, and Chairlift live made me appreciate their music more which I have on my Ipod but hardly listen to. They have a very unique sound.
Peter Bjorn and John did an amazing job, they sound so good live. There are alot of bands out there that just cant swing a live show. Like theres no energy in the show when they perform, and their voices come off a bit harsh. However, they went above and beyond, and of course adore Peter(the lead singer). He was super sexy in his mod clothes and the way he moved definitely put me in awe(laugh now, I know).
Aside from that he really got me at the end when he started bursting out "Transmission" by Joy Division. He sounded pretty close to Ian Curtis, and it was a great way to end the show.
We were so close, I had him dancing and playing his guitar so close to me, he almost stepped on my fingers. And then towards the end, he jumped right over Will's head(almost hitting him with his guitar and whipping us with his wire, its all good) and landed on a speaker to perform the rest of a song. Good times.
I have some pictures on my phone, but Im having a problem uploading them, oh well.
This is a clip from Youtube that someone filmed of them singing "Young Folks" last night. Loved how they got down.
This video is longer and shows the whole song, but its not great quality.
Loved it.
Now one more day and me and my friends will heading out early Saturday to Philly to partake in some Dead celebrations. We will be seeing them at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, so we will have about a 3-4 hour drive ahead of us. Of course we have to get their pretty early so we can socialize and hang out in the parking lot, that's just what you do at a Dead show before the show. Good times. Last time I hung out in a Dead show parking lot I got my tongue pierced(back in 2001) I don't think I will be doing anything crazy like that again. Promise.

oh WOW. wowowowow. i'm incredibly jealous - that looks like it was such an awesome time! i always secretly hoped i could someday be Peter Bjorn and John's backup whistler girl. because i'm a pretty good whistler. i whistle a lot. you'll find this to be true in a little less than two months. :)
It was an awesome time Jen. Really go and see them if they ever come near you, you wont regret it.
I for one can never be their whistle girl, I suck at whistling. I just pretend. SO when we are listening to the song on the drive to Franklin, you will have to take over that part!
Oh I came over to visit, because I have been awful and then I find this:) Oh my I am so flippin jealous, but also super happy that you had a lovely time. I adore Peter Bjorn and John. Seriously you made my day sharing the you tube:) and of course your thoughts on the show. So, after I post gonna check if there coming to Minneapolis:)
And I second you on the lack of whistling talent. I surely would be in trouble if I had to whistle ,if my life depended on it:)
LOVE Peter Bjorn and John!!!
