Sonic Youth played at Music Hall of Williamsburg on November 25, 2009. It
was their second show at MHOW on consecutive nights and third show in NYC
in less than a week. Jemina Pearl opened up for Sonic Youth.

I was lucky enough to see The Dead Weather perform for the third time this year NYC.
This was probably the best of the three shows that I saw. They seem to have stepped
up their energy and now Jack and Alison have quite a routine during the show. At one
point Jack pushed Alison so hard that she fell on the monitor. I have posted all videos
from the show at www.youtube.com/hypernyck

Dan Auerbach played Webster Hall last night 11.11. Dan Aurebach
and his band were amazing last night and put on one of the best shows
of the year. The show also featured two great opening acts, Jessica Lea Mayfield
and Justin Townes Earle. Its great to go to show in the city where you can actually
enjoy the opening bands. If you have the chance to hit this tour you should go.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band played The Wild The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle on
11/07 and The River on 11/08 at MSG. I was lucky enough to attend both shows this weekend.
This pictures are from the second night where I had a better view of the stage. Two of best
shows that I have ever seen Bruce and the Band do, it was also nice to finally see them at MSG.
The audiences were amazing both nights and wish every concert had fans like that.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs played Music Hall of Wiliamsburg on September 29,2009.
It was their last show off their Its Blitz tour. I have seen the YYYs probably close
to 10 times and they still put on a great show. It was great seeing them at such a small
venue again. It brought me back to all of their early shows that I used to go to.
I liked that the encore was made up entirely from fan request. I am glad that
I go to see this show in BK rather than the show at Radio City. The YYYs still
don't let down on their live show, I can't wait for the next tour. I <3 Karen O.

Phoenix and Kid Cudi played at Terminal 5 on September 12th. The event was
an MTV Video Music Awards benefit show for Lifebeat. Kid Cudi ended up
playing a longer set than Phoenix that night but they still put on an amazing
show. Here are the pics

NIN played 31 songs last night at their 4th and Final show in NYC.
Peter Murphy appeared on stage for the second night in a row. This
time he made his entrance hanging upside down from the ceiling. He
performed all of Reptile upside down. This was a great show but
nothing was gonna top the Webster show for me. All of the pics are Here.
Video to follow soon.

This was the second of four shows in NYC as part of the NIN’s ‘Wave Goodbye’ tour.
NIN played The Downward Spiral in its entirety. This was the first and probably the last
time that they will play the album in full again. I felt very lucky being in audience for this
show. The rest of the setlist was pretty amazing and getting to see NIN in such a small venue
was great. I am looking forward to the final T5 Show tomorrow night. I will be posting
a few links to some youtube videos a took a little later. Pictures Here or click on any

Phoenix played one of the best shows i've seen this year. They sounding amazing
and were all very tight. I am glad that they ended up playing MHOW after posting
a T5 show because the small venue was the perfect place to see them. I am
looking forward to seeing them again when they come back.

The Dex Romweber Duo opened for the The Detroit Cobras at Southpaw in Brooklyn
on Friday June 12. This was my second time seeing Dex this year and my third Cobras
show. Both Dex and the Cobras played solid sets. I can't wait to see them again.
