And yes, Stereogum was there. Did your jaw just drop? I was trying to help "Save CBGB" and I figured I might as well hear music that I'd recognize. Their last song, which was surprisingly early (11:30) was "Self-Esteem." The audience sang the first verse. Notable quotes from Dexter throughout the night:
"So many bands have played here ... like Lisa Loeb and the Gin Blossoms." "Why is Michael Jackson so found of twenty-one-year olds? ... 'Cause there are 20 of 'em!" "You guys may be the best audience we've ever had!"
I bet he says that last line at every show. Biggest disappointment: Offspring didn't play their one song I like -- "I Choose." If you've got MP3, e-mail to me, and I'll post. I tried to hum it to Jeff all night, but he had no idea what I was talking (er, humming) about.
I got only a couple of shots. My batteries died ten minutes in.
Central Village has a kickass gallery, and Heart On A Stick has an extensive review.
In other news, it's a boy for Brit and K-Fed.
