Got to the venue, a mile from the Super 8 I'm staying in, early and found out what time Bloc Party were due on stage. I had enough time to wander up and down Sunset Blvd, grab a quick bite at Dennys (Have you ever noticed how many Dennys there are in Southern California?), and get into the Palladium before they took the stage. What I didn't know is that the Palladium only allow so many people on the main floor to watch the bands, and I was one of the unfortunate ones without the coveted yellow wristband. I took up my spot in an uncrowded area next to the sound booth and listened to the crowd roar as Bloc Party took the stage. I mention this because Vegas audiences are either too cool or not quite as enthusiastic to a lot of bands. I have a 3 Bloc Party albums, Silent Alarm being my favorite, but the others grow on me the more I hear them. It wasn't until the starting bass of Positive Tension that I started to get getting super hyped. They played a great mix of all 3 albums with, obviously, a heavier tint towards Intimacy. The band had a good rapport with the crowd and looked like they were having a good time. Overall this was the best of 3 Bloc Party shows I've seen and was left wanting for more when each encore was was finished with Helicopter and This Modern Love respectively. Setlist One Month Off / Trojan Horse / Hunting For Witches / Positive Tension / Signs / Waiting For The 7.18 / Song For Clay (Disappear Here) / Banquet / Ion Square / The Once And Future King / Mercury / So Here We Are / The Prayer 1st Encore: Sunday / Halo / Flux / Helicopter 2nd Encore: Ares / This Modern Love
