Last night I attended my first major Portland concert. Keane played last night to a packed small theater in downtown Portland. I went with this guy "AB" and his wife and had a great time. AB and I have similar taste in music with the exception he likes some "old school" rock. I've never got into "Zepplin" or anything like that.
The opening act was pretty bad. I can't even remember the name, but they were pretty blusy with extended guitar solos that I didn't care for. A lot of other people in the audience liked them however.
Keane took the stage shortly after opening with "Put it Behind You". Tom Chaplin, the lead singer, was his usual gracious self and worked the excitement of the crowd well. Tom talked about how he enjoyed traveling up the gorge in Portland on the bands day off. He even broke out a guitar and played an acoustic version of "Open your eyes". The band played a rather long set playing nearly every song off both their albums. They ended their set with "Bedshaped" and thanked the crowd a thousand times.
Afterwards, I bought a reasonably priced T-shirt (only $30). Unfortunately I had to pay another $10 for parking, but after getting such a deal on the T-shirt, what was another $10? Anyway, AB and I will be seeing Snow Patrol later in Feb, so I better start saving for another shirt.

Sounds like fun. What are you going to do with the money you saved on the T-shirt?
That's my boy! Will snow patrol be coming to KC?
Keep me up-to-date on KC shows will you?
You crack me up with the buying of the t-shirts. I thought only high-schoolers did that. What do I know though?
I guess Wah-Wah didn't go.
Yeah, $30 isn't my idea of reasonable. $10 is my idea of reasonable. Though I've paid more at events, I just don't call it reasonable. ha!
uh... you don't like Zeppelin? (you pop-nazis scare me...) Stairway Man.... (stairway)
