Well, with Modest Mouse's set lists looking much better now than in the past few years, three friends and I made the last minute decision to go to the Raleigh show tomorrow night.
Let you know how it is... they've been playing MUCH more of their older stuff: at least half of each set is of older material, and the setlists seem somewhat random, so that makes for a compelling show, to say the list.
Edit: it appears as though Jonny Marr is not on this tour (YES!!!!!)
That would explain the better setlist... I don't like his work with the band, much less his own work.
There's not a thing worth remembering When tomorrow can bring someone new Get used to the thought You can't be what you're not Life has already got plans for you
Finally saw Modest Mouse, so I can officially throw my two cents in on their live show; This show was fucking great.
Firstly, no Marr also meant very little from the most recent album (which I hate, to this day), while still heavy on Good News material, which is ok, I suppose. But what really got me was the PHENOMENAL set of older songs they played.
Opened by two bands, the first of which I don't remember or care to, the second was Mimicking Birds, which was pretty decent. They played a few songs that I really quite liked, so I'll be looking into them a bit more in the future.
Then Modest Mouse took stage. Earlier in the night me 3 friends and I threw out a song we'd like to hear above any others; mine was "Dramamine".
This is the set list;
Dramamine > Life Like Weeds (Lyric Tease) Bury Me With It Education Interstate 8 Satin In A Coffin Here It Comes Doin' The Cockroach > Lounge (Lyric Tease) Dashboard Blame It On The Tetons Wild Packs Of Family Dogs 3rd Planet Broke Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes > King Rat (Lyric Tease) The Good Times Are Killing Me Styrofoam Boots / It's All Nice On Ice, Alright The View
Encore:
Spitting Venom Float On Baby Blue Sedan Black Cadillacs
Notes: Great intensity, the band seemed very much into what they were doing, and the audience loved it... however, the audience was full of young, young, YOUNG kids, and maybe half of the people knew none of the songs except for the ones on the two most recent show. Great vibe however, and a good investment in waiting to see these guys without Marr.

Just bought tickets to Electric Six on April 25 and George Clinton on April 26! I've never even heard Electric Six, but some friends are coming down for it, and I have heard they put on a helluva show, so I'm excited. Will be my second George Clinton concert (thanks to a very nice person who helped us go see him the first time), and I couldn't be more excited! Last time, the show was fantastic, but was followed with a really bad night (boyfriend broke his shoulder). This time, it's at my favorite venue (Variety in Little Five Points), and, hopefully, won't end with broken bones!

I'd go see them again. Ty's rating: 7/10
My friend spontaneously decided to take his girlfriend and drive from Blacksburg, VA down to myrtle beach to see them the morning of the show. With the exception of the speeding ticket he snagged on the way back, he said the entire trip was absolutely perfect. Sounds like a hell of a show! ;D
I can only imagine how fun Doin' the Cockroach is in a live setting
