Song of the Week (Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear)

Kings of Leon @ Rupp Arena (Lexington, KY) Oct. 10, 2009 Concert Review

First of all, a view from our seats.



It's a pretty blurry photo, taken from my phone but it still gives you a sense of just how good our seats were. We were 8 rows back from the stage with a very good view. They were definitely the best seats I've ever had at any concert.

Now, on to the opening act, White Lies. We arrived about 10 to 15 minutes late but I don't think we really missed more than one song. These guys are really good if you like their music. They sound a lot like Interpol, who in turn sounds a lot like Joy Division. It's not bad and I quite enjoy Interpol, but just not what I was in the mood for that night. They played for about an hour and then there was a brief intermission while their set was torn down and Kings of Leon was set up.

The set list for the night goes like this:

The breakdown per album goes like this:

Youth and Young Manhood - 1
Aha Shake Heartbreak - 4
Because of the Times - 5
Only By The Night - 10

I hate Only By The Night and only like Because of the Times slightly more. Needless to say I was disappointed by the set list. I really should have seen them 5 years ago. Besides that, the show was really good. They put on a hell of a show, full of energy. The fans were really into it and sang along to every song. Use Somebody and Sex on Fire were almost deafening. Only problem with the fans was that they kept throwing glow sticks onto the stage. That was extremely rude and disrespectful and we're lucky KoL didn't stop the show because of the idiots.

Song of the Week (Bucket - Kings of Leon)

Going to Kings of Leon concert tomorrow night at Rupp Arena here in Lexington. I'll try to do a review early next week.
