Holy sh**! I almost wussed out on this show, as I’m old and was still recovering from my weekend of travel to see Fazerdaze in Chicago, oh and Spoon and The Pixies were there too. I’m so glad I didn’t skip out, though, because Rilo Kiley put on one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.
The Salt Shed, a relatively new venue (2022) in Chicago, played host to the Pixies, Spoon, and Fazerdaze on a lovely September summer day. First a little bit about the venue, a mere 6 hours from the Twin Cities (depending on traffic), on Goose Island. They have done a fantastic job in making this space an exceptional place to see a show. There is both an indoor and an outdoor stage. Being the aforementioned lovely summer day, it was outside. Being right by the river drops the temperature is a bit cooler and provides a great backdrop. If you have the chance, I highly recommend taking in a show here.
