It feels kinda of weird to write about this FM94/9 show, now that some things have changed at the station – Halloran is no longer there, and in a few days, the morning show will switch over to an all-talk, no music format. Ugh. I hope that’s the end of the changes for the station, but I guess I’ll just have to hold my breath and see.
Disregarding all that, this show was a blast. It sold out a few weeks prior to the event, and it had every right to – the lineup was absolutely phenomenal. I was shooting photos for Pitchfork, and a few of the staff over there were jealous that they couldn’t attend the show themselves. The RIMAC arena is a hard place to play, acoustically, but all the bands sounded great, and you can see for yourself that the lighting was amazing, which made me a happy photographer.
