Great, great show! Probably the earliest I've been to the Rocks in at least 5 or 6 years, so a really fun way to kick off The Summer Vacation! I hadn't heard The National much, but I really like their sound. Modest Mouse (click that link to see a photo from the band) was good as good, but I'm not their biggest fan, so I wasn't too into it.
But R.E.M. — WOW! I can't say enough about the show. They played their new stuff (they ARE actually promoting an album) but a bunch of cool old stuff too (Fall On Me, Orange Crush, Worlds Leader Pretend) and some good deep tracks. Plus, they utilized the screens behind them in interesting ways—I'm sure Michael Stipe's appreciation of experimental film influenced the "second show" as I like to think of it.
