Kevin Devine - 04.20.08

Kevin Devine - Music Hall of Williamsburg

April 20, 2008 - Brooklyn, NY

Put Your Ghost to Rest Record Re-Release Show

Kevin Devine did not disappoint. Even though I'm an idiot and dragged Becky with me to get there for around 7 when, I soon discovered, Kevin didn't go on until 10.  So we walked around Williamsburg aimlessly for nearly an hour, where Becky pointed out how suspicious we probably looked and that a cop might have a reasonable suspicion that criminality was afoot if they saw us that would justify them stopping and frisking us.  I've never seen so many Thai and sushi restaurants in such a small area.

Long story longer, I have a total crush on Kevin Devine.  He is absolutely my favorite person in the world with my initials!  Highlights:

• He played "Put Your Ghost to Rest" in its entirety.  As I guess could have been expected seeing that it was the re-release party.  But it was exciting nonetheless because I don't know that I've ever heard him do "Go Haunt Someone Else" live.
• Brian Bonz playing EVERY INSTRUMENT KNOWN TO MAN (ok, not really, but kinda really)
• "Take me to prom!" "I'm a grown ass man, I can't take you to prom! I can DRIVE you to prom!"
• Kareem Abdul Jabar! He made his mom cover her ears.  I'm not sure why. But it was cute.
• His "you know any Dave?" story . . . I fully appreciate anyone who doesn't think that Dave Matthews is God's gift to music. Which may be because I am convinced that Kevin Devine is God's gift to music
• "People Are So Fickle"! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE that song.
• Super seriously, I loooooooooooove Kevin Devine.  So severely.

* setlist needed . . . obviously all of Put Your Ghost To Rest, but the order and the rest would be nice :)*

The Get Up Kids at Irving Plaza - 10.31.09

THE GET UP KIDS - IRVING PLAZA

October 31, 2009 - New York, NY

With: Kevin Devine and The Life and Times

The show kicked off pretty much at 9 on the dot, a rarity for Irving Plaza to actually be punctual - the opening band was called "The Life and Times" and they were rocking ZZ Top costumes and calling themselves "ZZ Times" - I wasn't overly impressed by them, but as far as opening bands go, they weren't awful.

Kevin Devine was next - his band dressed up as mummies and he had changed from when I'd seen him earlier into a dress with a short blond wig, sparkly flat shoes, and several long necklaces. "I got confused, I thought they said we were going as MOMMIES," he said. 45 minutes went by way too quickly, but he NEVER disappoints me, and every time I see him, I know it's going to be amazing.

Kevin Devine Setlist 

1. No Time Flat
2. Longer That I'm Out Here
3. Yr Husband
4. Hand of God
5. Cotton Crush
6. Carnival
7. Another Bag of Bones
8. Brother's Blood
   

Irving Plaza always plays weird, trippy movies with no sound in between their sets . . . this time it was "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" and "The Wizard of Oz", which I thought was just random happenstance until the lights dimmed, the screen lifted, and "We're Off To See The Wizard" started playing throughout the venue . . . the Get Up Kids took the stage dressed up as the characters from the Wizard of Oz (the poor guy who played "Dorothy" looked so innocent that it was actually more adorable than it was disturbing).

Brand New. Oh, Brand New. I love, love, love them, so much, and I was so proud of them. They were amazing and I was so happy for them . . . there were a couple of moments when I saw Jesse looking around the Coliseum, realizing that there were 10,000+ people there and just taking it all in . . . they kept hailing the show as the "homecoming" show for them, and their set was PERFECT . . . they ended with "Play Crack the Sky" (my all time favorite) followed by "Seventy Times 7" (which has hit particularly close to home lately) and it was awesome. There is nothing like 10,000+ people singing "I HOPE YOU CHOKE AND DIE" at the top of their lungs.  Best band ever.

I thought I might start crying when Thrice came on . . . I'd seen them twice before (I told Liz and my friend Mike from high school who we met up with there "I've seen Thrice twice . . . after tonight, I'll have seen Thrice thrice!") but before I knew any of their music . . . Dustin Kensrue has a beautiful voice, and I couldn't help but be excited to see them, especially when they played "The Artist in the Ambulance", my favorite song of theirs.

My love for Kevin Devine has only strengthened with time . . . seven years and thirteen shows later, Kevin Devine has gone from this amazing singer to this amazing singer who is also my hero who is also . . . um, AMAZING. God, I don't know how else to describe him. Nothing gets me more excited than when I see him and he sees me and his eyes light up in recognition . . . we've only met a few times, and he has no idea what my name is, but when he took the stage tonight to open up for Brand New at Nassau Coliseum, I felt such a surge of pride for him. The first time I saw him was at the Mercury Lounge with Shannon, in June 2003, when we were the only two people in the venue who weren't his friends or family. Tonight he sang to hundreds, maybe even thousands of people, and I was so proud of him. I congratulated him when I saw him after the show and he just looked so overwhelmed and grateful, I just adore him. He's just amazing.
