This makes twice now that I’ve only sen the Yeah Yeah Yeah for four to five songs. The first time was at Bonnaroo when I had to leave and photograph other bands; now Monolith gets added in because I finally got so cold and wet in the rain that I had to head indoors to warm up. And even though those combined sets add up to about a full show, I still feel like I haven’t really “seen” the Yeah Yeah Yeah.

Karen O is a fantastic frontwoman who is fronted by a fantastic band (who were unfortunately missing David Pajo this time around). In fact, she’s so entrancing and energetic that she creates an atmosphere on stage that makes the audience question why WE aren’t on the same level of excitement that she is. She loves performing and that night at Monolith she had a crowd of thousands of rain soaked fans who loved it too.

More photos after the break.
