They were really good. Graham Lewis shouted "Respect!" as they walked offstage. Funny. Who's the new guitarist (in place of Gilbert)?

I was pleasantly surprised, they were very good and able to make the South Street Seaport not so cheesy but actually pretty cool. Also, who were all these people who knew who WIRE were? There was like 3,000 people there!?! Very happy to be able to say that I've seen '12XU' performed live.

yeah the end of the show was really good. The Lowdown -> 12XU -> Pink Flag! also that one from 154 that they played a couple songs before the encore (The 15th?)

Yeah - I was also really surprised at the huge crowd. More there than for the National last year...

I read Margaret Fiedler from Laika and Moonshake fame.
