Show at the Bowery is easily going to be in the top 3 shows I see this year, if not THE best. I just got tickets to see them in Brooklyn in June, so we'll see if they can top it.

Had a great time at the show last night with APR, his friend, Ms GO4IT and Bren.  We had center balcony rail above the soundboard - great sound there.  They played for 2 1/2 glorious hours ending with a killer Mind Games at 1AM.

Here's my video of Red Eyes into Suffering. Enjoy :cheesy:

At 2.5 hours, that was the longest show I've ever seen at the 9:30.  And it was great.   

Center balcony next to GO4IT, who as usual captured some great footage (see above).   Adam, the lead singer/guitarist, is an incredible guitar player.  I really liked his solos, and there were quite a few of them.  I must admit, I did get a little bored by their slower stuff as I do when listening to their albums.  But the livlier songs more than made up for it and sounded stellar and longer than the album versions......Under the Pressure (amazing song and perfect opener), An Ocean in Between, In Reverse, and Brothers stood out.

The band had a bunch of relatives there so maybe that was why they played so much.  I had a blast and will be there again next time they come around.

same here on both points.  if they tour like they did for Slave Ambient, we could see another US tour after they get back from Europe. 
Don't you ever turn it off

Good to know!

The War on Drugs don't have that Roots Picnic listed on their tour page.  They do have Brooklyn listed June 13.  Maybe they'll add a few shows in the Mid Atlantic around those dates.  That would be nice.

It's been over a month now and this album hasn't left my CD player for more than a day. I listen to it basically daily and it has only gotten better. A near perfect album that has to be one of my favorites of the past 10 years. I know that is some strong praise, but I really think it's warranted. That is all...

As someone else here mentioned, I've discovered some great bands, thanks to this board.  Im listening to Lost In The Dream for the first time, and I'm loving it so far.  Right now, Im on Suffering.  Im getting a kind of Pink Floyd vibe.  Im looking forward to hearing the rest of this album, and  getting their previous ones.  :drum:

I just found out they'll be playing The Fonda in October.  I definitely will get a ticket!  If they're available.

Me too, dm99. Unfortunately, it arrives just as I'm leaving for two weeks...
