I wish I was in London for The Strokes show last night. The band played for the first time in four years at a 500 person venue called Dingwalls located in Camden. The band played under the secret name Venison.
They played 18 songs, but none of them were new. Either way, those 500 fans were probably the luckiest people in London last night. Here is the setlist, provided via NME:
New York City Cops
The Modern Age
Hard to Explain
Reptilia
What Ever Happened?
You Only Live Once
Soma
Vision Of Division
I Cant Win
Is This It
Someday
Red Light
Last Nite
Under Control
12:51
Juicebox
Heart in a Cage
Take It or Leave It
The Strokes are the one band that I haven’t gotten to see, that I really want to. Hopefully NYC is the next spot for a secret show. I’d drop plenty of $$ for it. Let’s make it happen guys!
I posted some videos that I found on youtube. Watch them after the jumperoo:
