Mini Reviews of Virgin Mobile FreeFest in Baltimore: LCD Soundsystem has an amazing act. Appearantly this was the second time ever they've played Dance Yourself Clean live and it could be their best live song.

Mini Reviews of Virgin Mobile FreeFest in Baltimore:
LCD Soundsystem has an amazing act. Appearantly this was the second time ever they've played Dance Yourself Clean live and it could be their best live song. Along with All My Friends, Home, Yeah, Daft Punk, Drunk Girls, I Can Change, Tribulations, Movement and Losing My Edge, their setlist is amazing. The only downpoint is the 7 minute long trudge of You Wanted A Hit.

I saw Pavement while waiting in line to be in the next pit for LCD Soundsystem(They rotated the pit between each show, which is fucking brilliant IMO). Had it's ups I guess, I'm not insanely familiar with their stuff, they just don't seem to give a shit really, which is respectable

Matt & Kim - Someone decided to give Matt & Kim the Pavillion stage, which made me worried, but the place filled up nicely and it was fun up front. Plenty of fun quirks go on at their show, like having Kim through around a huge bag of balloons for us to blow up and toss around in the crowd. Fun cover songs like Biz Markie's "You say he's just a friend" and Kim's amazing smile kept the whole thing positive. Matt's remarks about how the VIP section was empty for them and him suggesting that people should sneak in was the highlight of the festival.

Sleigh Bells was crazy packed, I've already seen them, so I didn't really bother. They needed a bigger stage, there was absolutely zero room to even breath.

Neon Indian was one of my late discoveries last year, and I was surprised with how well they handled playing an hour, they put on a great show. Only problem was it was the middle of the day... they need to be seen at night. I was surprised by how well my friend liked them after he saw them without hearing anything else they've made.

Jimmy Eats world played that one song.
