I don't really remember what else i saw but if you want a rundown on what they played, I'm not the person to ask. The whole thing was incredible and if you save $5 a week for the next year, you too can experience it. Pitchfork is next in Chicago.

Used and Rare Books
50% OFF during June
60% OFF during July
A TIME OF TRANSITION
While I'm going to continue to be a book dealer (on-line, shows, by appointment), I've decided to close the shop after fifteen years. My last day will be Saturday, August 5 (with a bag-day sale on August 12). I want to thank all of our longtime customers for their years of patronage.
I am in the process of selling off the books in a series of sales. Currently, ALL books in the shop are 50% OFF. This will continue until the end of June. Starting July 1, the sale will change to 60% OFF. I don't think the stock will get too picked over, because I have over 300 boxes of books in storage and will be adding books to the shelves. The sale will continue to 70% OFF on July 22 and 80% OFF during the first five days in August. There will be a bag-day sale on August 12.
I'm looking forward to dealing online and by appointment because the schedule will be much more flexible and I'll be able to concentrate more on rare books --but I will definitely miss my regular customers --many, who've I been seeing regularly in the shop for well over a decade.
If you haven't been in the shop in a while, now is the time to stop by. The deals are amazing! Our online customers will also be getting a deal. As the sale goes on, I will be lowering the online prices. Everything will go, because I have boxes of books waiting to be cataloged in September.
