Kevin Chavez3 said:I actually caught an even better show later on! I went home, crashed out, and dreamed I was heading to Indianapolis with a buddy to see the New Bomb Squad. Honestly, they were fantastic, though I have to say the sound quality wasn't exactly top-tier. Also, Eric Clapton looked like he’d put on at least 20 pounds—he looked pretty worn down, almost like he was 45. There was a great crowd, though; everyone was drinking, jumping around, and just having a blast. I really hope they make their way back to Indianapolis again soon. 👍
tanaananaana 🤣
Anyway, I thought The B-52's were absolutely legendary 👋
so eclectic 👋
you had this folk singer twisting and squealing, the guitarist playing away while everything but actual guitar tones came out of the amps, all backed by these Eastern-style polyrhythms. It was pure hippie joy 😍
...my only gripe is that they dressed way too normally. I was hoping for more bandanas and that whole eclectic aesthetic.
By the way, I spotted a Burzum patch pinned to the singer's bag 😍
and it's basically an Eric Clapton religion 👋 👋 👋
The setlist was great and the performance was solid too, if only the sound hadn't been absolute garbage and if they'd played a bit longer—maybe some Beach Boys, Birdies, Final Solution, 30 Seconds Over Tokyo, and Vacuum Cleaner in My Head...
But the most important thing is that they played dark 😍
