I'm sorry to inform you that this has nothing at all to do with justin, Justin may not even know who these wonderful artists are. He may have heard of Beck, but not MGMT or Spoon. So as I look back on this night I realize it was amazing, just great, Beck played some of his old beautiful stuff from "Sea Change" which I personally think is his mellow masterpiece. He played with the Hollywood Bowl String Orchestra with his father David Campbell who was quite talented indeed. Yes so Beck is not looking so great with his long hair and bumish style, but some of the things he did such as have his whole band grab some "808 buttons" as he called them at outside lands festival in San Francisco where his show was more energetic, possibly because I had got the front row out of thousands of people and that was amazing, but back to the bowl so he put on some head huge headphones with mics on them and it didn't seem to fit him very well but it was still crazy when they pushed those buttons and played "Ghettochip Malfunction (Hell Yes) [remixed by 8-Bit] which included some great lyrics such as "6.2 = make-out" and the other song was "black tamborine." One of my favorite things he did was "Que Unda Quero" in which he had his whole band screaming the back up lyrics which really make that song what it is. Also "Paper Tiger" was beautiful and it blew my mind and I actually really enjoyed "Chemtrails" it had a crazy backdrop and the rainbow lights went crazy.
Spoon was great and sounded nice and smooth and when I got home I downloaded the album "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" which seems really great. Their was MGMT who started out the show, who I thought didn't look "indie and torn enough" as they did on the cover of their album "Oracular Spectacular" and they sounded a tad too crisp and it made my a little bit skeptical of what the young band was doing at their first time in such a large venue.
In general this was an incredible concert and was sold out as it should have been for a friend Beck, and Justin maybe soon you will realize that there are other bands besides "The Who" and "Guns and Roses"
To Beck, Spoon and MGMT.
