Still a Little Drunk

Wow, I seriously wish I had a better picture for you...

Taken from the balcony at The Fillmore

Let me just say the photo does not do this band justice. Yeah Yeah Yeahs consistently puts on a fantastic live show, and last night was no exception. The fact that they played at The Fillmore was just icing on the cake. Their shows always seem to go by so fast, but they serious pack it in. There's at least one song I didn't recognize, but otherwise, I think I can remember most of the set list, despite the fact that I was wasted. These aren't in exactly the right order, except for the encores:

Rockers to Swallow
(something I didn't recognize)
Gold Lion
Down Boy
Pin (favorite)
Phenomenon (favorite)
Cheated Hearts
Maps
Black Tongue
Kiss Kiss (Karen especially sounds like Siouxie on this one)
Date with the Night

(Encores)
Y Control (favorite)
Modern Romance/poor song (can't remember if they did both or just poor song)
Art Star (favorite)
Turn Into (favorite)

I think I'm missing a few, but I'm not going to make anything up for you. Noticeably absent, at least for me, were Bang and Warrior. They could just replace Maps with Warrior at every show from here on out, and the world would be a dang near perfect place to live.
