To make a long story short, the MGMT + The Ting Tings + Black Moth Super Rainbow concert at McCarren Park Pool on Sunday July 27th was utter, utter chaos. We had friends wait in line for the show an hour before the doors opened, and even so the line to get in stretched across three blocks!
In addition to the MASSIVE turn out, storm clouds quickly replaced the sun and the patience of countless fans were put to the test. Thunder and lightning lit up the sky and the rain did not let up, but still the line did not move. Yours truly stood on line outside of the venue discouraged as The Ting Tings took the stage (they were first in the lineup), but even more discouraged by their short set. We at least were able to catch the last song of their performance.
Black Moth Super Rainbow (glorified indie elevator music) was second to hit the stage before the crowd packed in for the headliner, MGMT. The band pleasantly buzzed through songs off their debut Oracular Spectacular, but still I wondered if it was worth the many unpleasantries.
