I saw a bunch of energetic moving forward and backward but wasn't sure how much of that is common at these shows... Ouch, that does actually sound pretty grim.

Some of the people in the crowd were raucous, out-of-control, rude, stupid to a point of being unreal. Come on! We're talking about grown-up people! (21 and over show). One thing is to dance vigorously, jump and have fun...this was punching (with the purpose of getting to front line), pushing and kicking! Not funny, not the result of dancing, it was violence! For some of us who love Wolf Parade the memory of this show will be nightmare-esque. My party wasn't able to really enjoy it because we got so physically abused we chose to leave and watch the rest of the show outside the venue. It was awful. We go to a lot of shows and we've never seen such a demonstration of stupidity. It was a pretty bad situation.

I thought that both bands were great. I'm liking Wolf Parade's new material more and more with every listen (and more with every live performance). Still, I'm glad that some of their friends and Sub Pop crew requested older songs that had fallen out of rotation! btw, these pictures are really nice. I really like the one of Spencer surrounded by the thick crowd. yeah, the stage left bouncer at Neumo’s was on top of his game, swiftly and unobtrusively intervening before anything got too messy in the moshswarm.
