Man, I wish that Editors were opening for R.E.M. here in the States instead of Modest Mouse and The National.  

I saw an amazing Editors show back in January at a small venue here and both of the band's albums impress me greatly.  Unfortunately, people here in the U.S. are in denial about how great a band Editors are, so they get better tour slots overseas.

I enjoyed The National and Modest Mouse but I would love to see a show with the Editors. I've never seen them live but I really like the albums I have.

I saw the Editors live in January and they were AWESOME!  I really like both of their albums and after seeing them live they propelled to my "favorite bands" list.  I wish they were opening for REM here too!!!

On a side note, I have seen Modest Mouse before and they were also good, but I just don't enjoy their music quite as much as Editors.

Wow, that would be a heck of a show.  I saw the Editors in Portland, OR in February and they were great.  I've never been big on Modest Mouse and I'm not familiar with The National--I'll try to go into the Red Rocks show with an open mind.  Only 4 days away!

For those unfamiliar with Editors I highly recommend. Melodic and dark - what a combination. Weight of the World is majestic.
