    Sat 16 Oct – Gorillaz, N*E*R*D

    Fuck Cancun. Fuck the Dells. Fuck Disneyland. The best vacation spot to stay is Plastic Beach. I experienced this at the UIC Pavilion last night.

    Let me start by saying N*E*R*D couldn't have been a more perfect opener for the Gorillaz. At the beginning, there were maybe only a few people (me one of them) standing up. But by the time they hit their final song, Lapdance, I don't think anyone was sitting down. They were great in getting the crowd pumped and ready to be everywhere.

    Claps and cheers filled the Pavilion as it didn't take very long for the lights to go out and the Gorillaz strolled on stage. With the brass ensemble present, and Snoop Dogg behind them on the large screen, "Welcome to Plastic Beach" went into the ears of every Gorillaz fan inside. Their setlist continued, and they did not single out Plastic Beach as the only album to perform. They did the fair share of songs from their debut as well as Demon Days, with guests such as Bootie Brown…

    Sat 16 Oct – Gorillaz, N*E*R*D were absolutely amazing!!!! Gorillaz played so many songs from both Demon Days and Gorillaz, maybe more than from Plastic Beach! it was wonderful! And the quality of the videos? Mm, they kept me distracted like a huge TV while Damon was singing and dancing and carrying a white flag and totally giving off energy to the crowd!


    Although everyone was properly seated in his or her place in the beginning, the moment Gorillaz stepped onto the stage everyone was up and standing, leaning against the rails, standing on the chairs with hands in the air, and popping out cameras. I, for one, cried as Gorillaz began with "Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach". As the concert proceeded, I danced to every song and did not sit down for one moment!


    They sold T-shirts, pin sets, cups, CDs, and posters for Gorillaz, as well as tees for N*E*R*D. As of food and drinks, it all ranged from lemonade and water to beer and alcoholic cocktails. …
