Manchester Orchestra, White Denim, 9:30 Club, Nov 14, 2011

I felt there was little reason to go to this show. All three bands just stood in place on stage and played their instruments and sang. No audience interaction, no energy, nada. There were even huge gaps in the sets for tuning when no one talked to the audience. They just stood there like deer in the headlights. You might as well just listen to their recorded music. It sounds exactly the same. It wasn't worth the price of the ticket to see them live.

Otherwise, White Denim made the mistake of failing to play the only song anyone knows by them - Drugs. White Denim and The Dear Hunter both sounded good, but then Manchester Orchestra took the stage and sounded so much better. I can't complain about the sound quality at this show - it was excellent. And I really do like Manchester's song catalogue, I just hate their live act.
