I attended Lush’s Boston concert at the Royale Boston. They remain one of my ten favorite bands and a band that I had never seen in concert before. It was a fantastic show. Tamaryn was the opening act.
Based off a photograph of a playlist someone else took, the playlist was:
- Breeze
- Kiss Chase
- Hypocrite
- Love Life
- Thoughtforms
- Light from a Dead Star
- Undertow
- Lit Up
- Scarlet
- Etheriel
- Nothing Natural
- For Love
- Out of Control
- Ladykillers
- Downer
- Sweetness and Light
Which should have been enough, but they were willing to play a first encore which I recorded:
- Lost Boy
- Desire Lines
- Leaves Me Cold
And a second encore with only the song Monochrome:
I recorded parts of other songs, but I only recorded these four completely. I posted two of them on Twitter:

The pictures I took left much to be desired, but I cannot expect much from an iPhone 5s, even from being near the front side. I missed my D-SLR.

I think I managed the right mix of dancing, singing to the music, taking pictures, recording video and holding my wife who was kind enough to attend it with me.
