Jimmy Eat World - Wonder Ballroom

Jimmy Eat World brought along the female keyboardist/vocalist who appears on their latest album - it was interesting to hear their new songs that incorporated a female vocal line.

Raveonettes - Wonder Ballroom

The Raveonettes brought along two additional musicians who switched between guitar, bass and drums as needed.  I especially enjoyed the percussion lines when both drum kits were in use simultaneously.

Psychedelic Furs - Aladdin Theater

For the thirtieth anniversary of the album "Talk Talk Talk," the Psychedelic Furs performed the album in its entirety.  They followed this up with a second set of their hits.

Mogwai - Wonder Ballroom

At this show, Mogwai didn't seem to be as loud as they usually are.  Nevertheless, they put on a great show.  Notably, it was the first time that I recall the band performing a song with vocals.  Also, the keyboard broke during the encore, so they improvised during the final song by substituting an extra bass guitar for the broken keyboard.
