The Stills @ Maxwell's - 6.26.07

This time I only managed a couple of pics. If you kind reader, have never been to Maxwell's, just know one thing, it is tiny. Like, high school friend's parents' basement tiny. The band has to go through the crowd in order to get on stage and instead of going off backstage ('cause there isn't any) to rest momentarily before coming back for an encore, they just huddled on stage for a bit - quite funny actually. This wasn't that long ago so I should remember a bit more...let's see.
I'd been wanting to see this band for ages, ever since I picked up their first album. I'd actually gotten tixs to two of their gigs before, but either b/c of illness or some other unexpected circumstance, I somehow always ended up missing out. It looked like the same was going to happen. I'd gotten 2 tixs and was going to originally take a certain someone. Well, that wasn't meant to be and I was left holding an extra tix and no idea of whom to take along. Thankfully a friend was gracious enough to escort me and I broke my no-show streak with the Stills.


I enjoyed myself - they were pretty much what I expected. Played my favorites, which is pretty much all of Logic Will Break Your Heart, some of which are just heart-breaking. I thought they had a good stage presence and the crowd - apart from an over-zealous, arm-flinging girl next to me - was pretty good. Plus it's always cool to go to a really small show once in a while and be within spitting distance of the band...again, not that i do that, it's just a cool thing ;o)
