Last week, my dad and I saw them at Wolf Trap, the only performing arts National Park (I believe). I love this venue because it has a lawn where you can enjoy a picnic while watching the show. Unfortunately, it happened to rain the day we went! It was raining before the show, then stopped as soon as the entry gates opened; the rain held off while we ate our dinner. But then once the music started, the rain picked up again. And this wasn't just sprinkles: this was a real thunderstorm! At one point we had our tarp over our heads to act as a canopy, but either way we ended up soaked. If we didn't love Garbage so much, we probably would have left. But they are worth it!
Deap Vally opened the show, and this girl-band duo is awesome! I thought they were a really good choice to start off this concert. I didn't recognize their name or any of their songs, but I wish them luck in becoming the next [mini] Go-Go's! Here are some of their songs:
Julian
Smile More
Baby I Call Hell
Royal Jelly
Lies
Critic
Walk of Shame
Gonnawanna
Little Baby Beauty Queen
I actually wasn't sure who was listed as the headliner for this show. I knew Blondie had been around longer, but Debbie Harry is getting old, so I thought maybe she was the opener. My dad was sure Garbage was the main act, but I guess Blondie is still more famous!
Even at 50, Shirley can still rock it! Image found here |
Empty
Even Though Our Love is Doomed
Blackout
Here are some of their older songs that they played which I like:
Sex is Not the Enemy
Push It
I'm Only Happy When It Rains
I Think I'm Paranoid
Stupid Girl
The World is Not Enough (Bond movie song)
Bleed Like Me (the title track of my favorite Garbage album)

Call Me
One Way or Another (which always makes me think of Coyote Ugly)
The Tide is High
Heart of Glass
The music at this concert was great. It was too bad the weather was lousy. But I'm glad we stuck it out!
