Mad props to the crazy mook dudes in the middle of the pack looking like Christian convention-goers on crack. Paradise was pretty full, even full enough to squeeze a couple guys into crowd-surfing: Them Editors’ lead guitarist and one of his gangstas.
We missed the Bon Savants’ self-described “best show evar”, but they always say that. Lake Trout was some serious yawnage, flopping around on the deck with their collars popped.
Editors ripped a few pages out of their own book with a by-numbers performance, but kept it loud and was enough to whip the crowd into a 1/4 frenzy. The lead singer quirked around most of the time, as if victim of a nuclear wedgie. Played pretty much everything from The Back Room, with “Lights” and “Munich” (I think) for the encore, inexplicably leaving out their cover of Lionel Richie’s “Say You, Say Me”.
Let’s go to the instant replay:
Editors - “All Sparks” (My youtube clip, arrr)
Editors - “Fall” (And another, for ma boy N8)
