Yeah Yeah Yeahs @ Webster Hall: The Sound Of Silver

Decked out in her (now pseudo-standard) S&M meets Cher-'Turn Back Time'-era get-up, Karen O and the boys stormed into Webster Hall for a rousing and raucous 80-minute show. The band split the set between new ditties from the Is Is EP, and a parade of tunes from all other releases to date. Everything sounded absolutely superb all evening long.

Karen O's stage antics of the evening included but were not limited to: a spitfire of fresh roses, use of a mechanic's light fixture to dangle and ultimately sing into (see below), and of course - some full mouth-on-mic shouting during 'Art Star'; not to mention her silver tinsel to top off the outfit. Fantastic, as always. Enjoy an acoustic YYY MP3 at bottom.

Setlist: Sealings/(New Song)/Honeybear/Rockers To Swallow/Phenomena/Cheated Hearts/Gold Lion/Pin/Kiss Kiss/Down Boy/Art Star/Maps/Turn Into/Date With The Night//Y Control/Black Tongue/Our Time/Tick

MP3: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cheated Hearts (acoustic)

Wow, the outfit seems a little over the top to me. Definitively gets your attention.

where you the guy in the 3rd row-ish with a camera? or the girl with canon L-lens and flash? whichever set up, i commend you for braving your camera. i had to put mine down because it got so hot and moist. my fingers turned pruney!

such an amazing show, i was completely thrashing around (of course, when camera not in hand)

Here are some photos from last week in Columbia MO if you are interested...I was front and center, until their lovely tour manager made me stop (with no flash) five mins into it.

Could you, please, possibly re-up the cheated hearts acoustic mp3? i just heard it on XM radio for the first time the other day and thought it was great, but I can't seem to find it anywhere else.
