Everyone looks good on the dance floor.

Arctic Monkeys - September 30th 2007 @ The PNE Forum.

This was my second time seeing Arctic Monkeys in 4 months....
This time it seemed as if they were rushing to end their tour, playing a fast hour and a half long set (with no encore) and then literally running off stage.
Can you really blame them, though? This show was the last stop on their lengthy North American tour...
They still played a good set, often talking to the audience and making jokes.
Half way through a song a red dot appeared on lead singer Alex Turner's shirt. He made a quick comment regarding how he didn't think you could purchase laser pointers anymore and then went right back into the song.

When I think about it; I did witness a man who had attached multiple Glow-Sticks to himself and danced like 'a robot from 1984' for their whole set; along with another man who seemed to be interpreting every lyric into his own form of sign language.

And then when I thought it about it more; have they ever played an encore? Not that I could remember.

So what am I talking about? They did nothing wrong.
If anything, they played one of the best shows Vancouver has ever seen.
Or, atleast that's the impression I got from Mr. Glow-Sticks.
