(This was Tegan and Sara's "Set List" as WRITTEN for Treasure Island Music Festival 2008) Sep 21 2008 San Francisco Holy Crap we're playing
Superstar YOU WOULDN'T I BET IT STUNG BURN GHOST HOP A PLANE--> SUPERSTAR NINETEEN WHEN I GET UP/ UMBRELLA LIKE O, LIKE H LIVING ROOM SPEAK SLOW WHERE
DOES CALL IT OFF ONE SECOND THE CON BACK IN HEAD ...the Tegan & Sara Show at Treasure Island this past weekend was such a surreal moment for me, as IT WAS
MY VERY FIRST T&S SHOW!! i arrived at the festival around 1:30pm, it was still early in the day with not much crowd gathering yet. so i found a spot right
up front on the main stage. (i was so glad i used their porta-potty facilities and didn't eat anything 'cuz after an hour later into the festival, i
realized "damn, i'm going to have to stay here until Tegan & Sara perform or else i'll lose my place here and no way in hell anyone would let
me back by the time they hit the stage!"). 4 bands later on this stage (Tokyo Police Club, Okkervil River, Spiritualized, Vampire Weekend) plus 30-40 mins
of intermission in between sets while sort of overhearing the other bands out on the distance from the second stage, FINALLY T&S TOOK THE STAGE at 7:21pm!
so was standing in one place for 6 hours to see T&S perform worth it? HELL F**KING YEAH!! And i can't believe Tegan sang "Superstar" which
blew me away! (i did not see the vid they just put out for their "US Fall Tour Announcement" about how these shows were gonna be different). the show
overall was just as they said it would be: a mix of old, new, unreleased EP, cover song, and "a certain song that they never do". i definitely was
tired after the show and stayed after T&S performed to see "The Raconteurs" who were headlining but had to get out of there before the encore, my
legs were stiff and i was Freezing! ...but so very happy to finally get to see a T&S show after listening to them for four years. i just invested in a new
digital camera so i could get some pics and vid of the show. haven't done any YouTube posting before so i will try to find some time to figure that part
out and edit what i have. but i see that others have done so already on there... looking forward to the LA Shows... i just maybe will be there too!
