i cant even describe. too speechless. i have seen ted leo i think 90% of his boston shows since the release of his self titled album and i can say that this show tonight...the best.....ever. i dont even think i could go to another ted leo show and not be dissappointed after this one. thats i lie. and i cant leave out his band the pharmacists. they tore it up.
im not sure if its just because i love this band so much or that they really did have a fucking insane show but i was blown away. which isn't that easy to do. i am fairly jaded. these guys played thier hearts out hot lights and a full set + encore, they looked ready to drop but kept it rocking.
i have to slow down im hyper ventilating im so psyched. ok just recap. best show i think ive seen in a year at least. best ted show ever.
ok so if you were there i was the tallest dude there, green shirt, glasses, right arm tattoo. i usually chill in the back cuz i can see and i dont get people touching me. but ted came on and i went to the upper deck right in front so i was just off the side of the stage next to the speakers. after earplugs i was all set. shout out to Buzz and Roberts that i met with there. buzz is the biggest ted fan ever. i thought he would have exploded. i almost did myself. they played all the great songs that i wanted to hear. and they played some songs that i should check out again that werent my faves but now could be. and then they ended thier main set with "trouble in treble" which fucks shit up. "trouble in treble" is a hard song to follow up but for the encore they played "St. John the Divine" which was the same song i had been screaming out [5 feet to his right] to play all night. it was utter bliss.
go to tedleo.com and then go buy all his albums.
i am pretty tired right now but im brimming with post show euphoria. i just dont want to keep saying the same shit. im in that shell shocked mind set that i just experienced something insane and keep mumbling "...best....show....ever..." cheers everyone have a good day
