remphish1 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 So I went down from Jersey to Florida to see R.E.M. at the Langerado festival. I also went to see Ben Folds and Medeski, Martin Scofield and Wood which were great but not the main reason I went. Anyway...it took 4 hours to get to the event due to someone knocking down a utility pole across the road. Was at an absolute standstill for 2 and half hours which was not fun. The concert grounds were interesting. Really in the absolute middle of nowhere! Lot of intesting people hanging around. Felt like it was 1998 all over again back in my Phish days. Anyhoo I got up to about 5 rows away from Mike Mills. Great sound very crisp and the band were nailing it. They played 8 new songs and a good mix of hits and minor hits (perfect for the festival setting) The new stuff sounds more raw and definatley is refreshing considering Around The Sun was their last record. Anyway the set was as follows. What's the Frequency, Kenneth?Living Well is the Best RevengeBad DayDriveHollow ManSo.

bigshoulders Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Were the new songs Rocking songs? I haven't heard anything off the new release. I don't even know when it drops, to be honest, but do plan on buying it just the same. A few years back they pulled out "Camera" for the Raleigh audience. It was during that "greatest hits" tour. Sounds like a great set! Cheers,Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
