I disagree about the venue. I thought 6th & I was the absolute worst spot for Yeasayer to play. Nobody should be sitting during their show and only so many people can fit in the aisles. But if one person stands at 6&I then nobody behind them can see. And of course you couldn't stand on the pew or anything, people would stare you down to death.

definatelyplayed evidnet utensil ... chairlift was excellent ... nat geo would make sense since they have offices in town and that was a ridiculous camera set up. Also they did not film in philly last ngiht so it must have been a dc thang. Neat

A National Geographic crew was taped Yeasayer for their 24 hour music channel, which you can't get in the states. ah...if that's the case, then I guess chris was being sarcastic. i apparently didn't pick up on it. in retrospect, 5 HD cameras did seem somewhat overkill for an indie band making a movie. i'm gonna sit down now. yeah, i think that's best.

he mentioned during the show that they were making a movie and that's what the cameras were for. so i'm assuming they've been taping for awhile now. great show. i really liked chairlift's set as well. with the one exception of the moment immediately after "Bruises" when 'that guy' yelled, "I WANNA BUY AN IPOD!!!" Ugh. Like clockwork to the band, I'm assuming. Anyone who was there know the song they played immediately after Bruises? That was great.

Woo! great show! I was dancing in my seat. Monkeyrotica: you should have signed up for the International Body Music Festival in Oakland this week! Get a hambone guy and I think you'll hit the big time.

"Middle Eastern-Psych-Pop-Snap-Gospel?" See, this is what drives me nuts about the so-called "indie music scene." These guys get concert dates, and I can get anyone to listen to my "Polynesian Bible Belt Gutbucket Gangsta Nursery Throat Singing Chantey" demo tape. I mean, between the concerts at Gallaudet and the occasional bar mitzvah, I can barely afford the payments on my Bentley and my gold-plated bidet. How the hell am I supposed to afford the surgery on my parasitic twin now?

Great Show ... nice pics ... Does anyone know if they videotaped just this performance or if they have been taping the last leg of their tour? I would love a copy of the show.
