Did Jimmy Fallon emerge from a giant mound of coke before he got the mic? Y/Y

I feel like Billy Joel must have some good songs but I can't remember what they are.

How would you regard New York State of Mind?

 

[corianderstem]

I love a lot of his music. I don't even care if that makes me deeply uncool, because that's how I roll. All uncool and shit.

 

[LemonMelon]

Billy Joel sucks, but he's doing his best with the material tonight.

I feel sorry for his piano bench.

Who you bullshitting? You wish you were the bench.

Okay, I said something to that person on Facebook. Her response "No seriously, The Edge played with The Who. He had his strat. Stood to the left of Roger."

Please tell me there is photographic evidence of the show tonight already online.

 

[corianderstem]

Also, fat jokes are so lazy.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

K-Stew and a mention of "a bag of dicks" is pretty apt, considering the stuff she gets into in On The Road.

Hello!

 

[bono_212]

Just turned it on.

Jagger's probably gonna get some shit for that comment.

Fuck him. They've been my #1 want to see live act for about 6 or 7 years, but that set gave me the worst taste in my mouth, and I'm really considering not doing it now.

Wonder if Jay Z joins Alicia for Empire State.

I was really hoping for that and Niggas in Paris. Oh wellz.

Buscemi needs to just shoot these guys.

Buscemi handled that poorly and they were drunk it was super awkward all around.

The Who certainly sounded better than at the Super Bowl. Though most people don't sound as good at the Super Bowl.

I passed on the Who this tour because of the Super Bowl performance alone. I have spent this entire evening kicking myself.

Speaking of which, I laughed when I saw Kanye's name on the "appearing tonight" list.

Kanye + hurricane benefit = {insert your own answer here}

I was on the edge of my seat nervous.


Well it was getting late so we left the movie theater, made it home without missing a beat of the Joel, which I have eagerly anticipated all night. I love this guy and he's killin' it, IMO. Plus he played "River of Dreams" . The sound at the movie theater was horrible, so I'm blasting my surround sound right now.

I didn't have internet at the theater, and no service, so I'll be sharing my thoughts on the whole thing in a bit.

 

[joyfulgirl]

How would you regard New York State of Mind?

Yeah, I like that one. He just strikes me as a tragic character somehow.

Springsteen should have had the lights off during his set.

 

[corianderstem]

I was wondering how it was at a theater. Were there a lot of people there?

 

[LemonMelon]

Who you bullshitting? You wish you were the bench?

No, I don't, that's what I said!

Okay, I said something to that person on Facebook. Her response "No seriously, The Edge played with The Who. He had his strat. Stood to the left of Roger."

Please tell me there is photographic evidence of the show tonight already online.

There is, but predictably, only of Pete and Roger.

And seriously, there was a guy with a beanie, playing guitar. End resemblance.

Damn.

4. Including me and Travis

The video was GORGEOUS but for some reason they were ONLY playing it through the front speakers.

 

[corianderstem]

Weak. Why have a concert showing and have crummy sound? That's a bummer.

 

[LemonMelon]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

There was an old couple in the back. Whenever the sound cut out, I could hear them being old, complaining. They left before Kanye. I think they were old.

 

[corianderstem]

It was me and laz.

Because we're old.

 

[bono_212]

Billy Joel

 

[joyfulgirl]

It was me and laz.

Because we're old.

At least it wasn't me being old rummaging through my purse looking for eye drops.

So they were old? Is that what you're trying to say?

I actually went to the front and complained during Bruce's set. They said they'd turn up the volume. They may have a little, but that was all they did to fix it.

 

[corianderstem]

Said person is still insisting it's The Edge. "... and I know my Edge."

Oh dear.

Oh good, our mutual friend has stepped in to gently break it to her.

I'm far too amused by this.

I had this problem at the LCD Soundsystem film, Sigur Ros film, and a Springsteen DVD showing in a theater here. I complained at all three. You're going to be good at being old.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

And we have Blake Lively, or as I like to explain her:

If the plot of the movie Weird Science were possible, she's pretty god damn close to the virtual girl I would create with my computer technology.

 

[LemonMelon]

Who's idea was this? The high school talent show is down the street.

 

[FlyontheHorizon]

I predicted that Chris Martin would come out playing Viva La Vida on piano. Close enough.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Chris Martin is wearing adult clothing.

 

[PennyLanePHINS]

Coldplay minus 3!
