The Pillows Rock Boston!

After yesterday’s nightmare four-hour wait to get registered at Anime Boston, today’s live concert by the Pillows made up for it. For Eric this was the highlight of the weekend, for sure. The Pillows were first mentioned way back in this post when the blog was only a month old.

Carol and I heard some of the show through the doors, and we were able to sneak in for the last two songs. The hall at the Hynes Convention Center is huge! It seats 5,000, and before some of the audience left early to beat the crowd to the merchandise table, the place was totally packed.

I managed to record the audio to the last minute of “Ride On Shooting Star,” the Pillows song that’s at the link above. This is how it sounded from outside the hall, with all of the doors closed. The show was plenty loud, and with Eric sitting in the eighth row, it was a good thing he wore ear plugs.
