I just saw this show in San Diego last night. WOW. It's right up there with some of the best concerts I've ever seen. I'm a big fan of Ra Ra Riot's "Ghosts Under Rocks" and they didn't disappoint. However, Cold War Kids put on an incredible performance (as usual). Finally, the headliner DCFC took the stage and destroyed CWK as much as CWK destroyed RRR. I was especially impressed by DCFC's light show - definitely a top-end production for such a small venue. Great job to everyone involved. My only regret is that DCFC didn't play as much Narrow Stairs material as I would have liked.
