from tyler ley:
i was standing about five feet back from the stage, in between stuart and
dominic when these two jerks beside me started a mosh pit during ithica. i
guess they were mad at some people around them because they wanted to push
forward to the very front of the stage and the crowd wouldn't let them.
anyways the jerks did not just stay in their little mosh pit and slam into
each other; they started lowering their shoulder and plowing into people
unfortunate enough to be standing near.
after the song was over, as you can imagine most of the people in the crowd
were upset with the jerks. the two jerks started to point and laugh at some
people until they realized that stuart was standing at the edge of the stage
staring them down. this froze the guys and they both got a terrified look
on their faces. stuart pointed at both of them and said "stop being such
f***ing assholes". the crowd erupted people started getting up in the faces
of the jerks and jeering them. the jerks left.
the show was great other then that. the version of 2 rights wasn't as good
as the version they played at the sxsw show. the sound levels of the drum
machine that they use wasn't turned up high enough and so it got lost in the
guitars. christmas steps was especially strong last night with the punch of
the more abrasive parts causing stuart's ear plugs to pop out. great show.
they closed with the jewish hymn which was awesome and much louder then
the sxsw performance.
from bryan robison on the drone-on list:
first off, my ears and i would like to thank everyone on the list for the
excellent job you did conveying how loud the mogwai/bardo pond show was
going to be. saw 'em here in austin on saturday where one of the highlights
of the show was when stuart stared down a guy in front of the stage for, get
this, moshing, and then called him a "fucking asshole." it's been a while
since i've seen someone actually try to mosh at a show, especially one like
mogwai.
this was my first time to catch mogwai live and honestly, i have to put it
into the top 3 shows i've seen all-time, with yo la tengo and paul westerberg.
