It's probably impossible for Modest Mouse to play a bad live show. The energy was in high gear Saturday night and that seems to be the key ingredient in a their live performances. 
Fans showed up by the hundreds to McCarren Pool in Brooklyn. It's a rather large area -and since it was actually a pool, the ground is shaped to a gradual upward slide, which provides for great viewing as a movie theatre does for films. Of course, for the hordes packed together toward the front, I can't say whether or not it was as pleasant as not only was it much more crowded and on a more level ground, but they stategically placed themselves at the greatest disadvantage to speaker access; the speakers are on the very outside of the stage. In any case, everyone seemed to be enjoying the show. The setlist was killer and the crowd favorite proved to be -you guessed it- "Float On", though in my opinion it didn't live up to it's original greatness. Most entertaining for me were MM's renditions of "Invisible", "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes", and "Spitting Venom."
