The Last Concert I Saw

Last night I went to see Ted Leo & the Pharmacists at the Tralf in downtown Buffalo-- what a great show! I've liked the group's last several records, but this was the first time I got to see them live and they were pretty incredible. Leo comes across as not only a fine guitarist and bandleader, but pretty smart and funny as well, bantering with the audience and ripping through an amazing 90 minute set (one highlight was a cover of the great Saints song "(I'm) Stranded"). I know I'm just gushing here, but sometimes the fanboy within escapes. Here's a clip of them performing one of the songs they did last night but from another gig-- it looks a lot like the scene last night at the Tralf:
