Phantom Planet plus the Zombies equals one of the best concerts I've been too, sans from Coachella because you can't list a festival like that alongside these tours. Colin Bluntstone's voice was amazing as ever since the recording of these songs from forty years ago. I couldn't believe the man's vocal cords have withstand the test of time like they did and all of Rod Argent's keyboard solos were stellar. As for PP, I so called it when they played their new, dancier stuff and it's eerie that I could catch so many of the influences on their newer stuff. I blame the current music scene. At least, they're not trying to do any bee bop boop stuff. That'd be just weird, but I think Alex Greenwald has the perfect voice for pop songs, no offense.
So best concert of my life? Not so much as just freaking unbelievable. Now if only the Unicorns and Neutral Milk Hotel would reunite and tour. Life would be sweet as honey then. And if only I could find someone to go with me to these shows, that'd be even better. I'm kind of tired of going to shows by myself because I get so bored between set times. But I do go to more shows than I should because I believe that if a band comes along and you have the time, GO FOR IT! I mean, when else will you have the opportunity? I still regret, to this very moment, that I never got to see Elliott Smith in concert. Thus I have the following bands lined up:
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Minus the Bear
Something for Rockets
Rogue Wave
Saosin (because I'm crazy hardcore like that sometimes.)
P.S. I forgot to mention this but while at the concert, I've decided that I want to live and work in New York after graduation. Or some place that's new and scary. But then again, I make plans but hardly carry them out so yea for craziness!
