The Hold Steady "Massive Nights" (14.5 MB) from Boys and Girls in America Orpheum Stagedoor Madison, WI May 18, 2007

The last time I was at a show with a sizeable, high-energy crowd like this was, well, I don't know -- probably Nine Inch Nails last spring. It's the kind of thing I usually have to go to Milwaukee to see, unfortunately. The crowd had been going pretty well already, but this song -- the big fun climax to Boys and Girls in America -- turned things up a notch. The really awesome thing is that the band kept things at that level for the rest of the show.
