Going to see a reunited Afghan Whigs in Atlanta this Saturday night.

Does it say something about my age that the last three concerts I've been to (after Saturday night) will all be shows by reunited 90's bands? Toad the Wet Sprocket last summer, Ben Folds Five last month, and Afghan Whigs this weekend.

Mixed feelings about last night's show. I felt the band never really got into a groove, even during the So performance. And wow, it was tough at times looking out over the "aging" audience - not to mention Pete, ha! - who preferred to sit through the show. So was the big new album when I was in college, so this show was very nostalgic...and seeing the aging masses was a bit...depressing in some way. I guess a certain part of you still thinks of yourself as 20 years old.

I felt the sound wasnt so great (we had good seats)...boomy bass and highs were bit sheer...didnt sound very "musical". His voice still sounds great and there were many good moments, but I certainly didn't walk back to the car at the end of the night feeling spent, in that good way.

Except for some interesting lighting, this was a pretty low tech event, including a stripped down acoustic set which opened the show, with the house lights up despite numerous shouts from the audience to put them down (pete obviously wanted them on). He started with a new song, which apparently he just penned lyrics too (in previous shows this was an instrumental). Pulled some interesting tunes from his library, which i could tell didnt thrill some of the soccer moms who showed up. Glad I went and would recommend to other fans, but I was expecting more compared to the stellar performance I saw from Pete last time at this same venue (wow, just realizing that was back in 2003!)
