The White Stripes/The Shins/M.Ward

This weekend brought us to Coney Island for the White Stripes/The Shins/M. Ward show..

By the time we got there we had been beaten to a pulp by the Holland tunnel traffic and general highway chaos. But upon entering the stadium that had all ended and the excitement arose.
At 7:00 M. Ward took the stage and played a 7 song set that recieved a pretty good reception by the crowd, despite his lack of notoriety.

Following up M. Ward were The Shins, the main reason I attended the show. And they impressed as I had hoped. The set included 12 songs all from either Chutes to Narrow, and Oh, Inverted World. The closed with perfect stands of Saint Simon, and Those To Come. All in all their act was tremendous, their line up was perfect and seeing them live was all that I had hoped for.

Next came Jack and Meg White. Not being a fan of their latest CD "Get behind me satan" I was worried that I may not enjoy myself, but I was quite pleased, minus the fact that they played the most annoying song ever written "My Doorbell". Thank god that "DeadLeaves and the Dirty Ground" was the next song, and that was enough for me.
