As Bostonist gets older, we find ourselves having a harder and harder time enjoying live music. Whether it's House of Blues staff waving flashlights in our faces or sucky sound at the Wilbur, we find ourselves more easily irritated by all manner of interference with our enjoyment. Fortunately, last night's WFNX Miracle on Tremont Street (featuring Passion Pit, Phoenix, and Spoon) was a show relatively devoid of interference (other than ushers enforcing the Orpheum's seating structure). However, it was also devoid of anyone older than us. Fortunately, this didn't ultimately interfere with our enjoyment of headliner Spoon, but it was a bit of a weird feeling.

Though the show may have been sparsely attended considering the day's victories after a long, dreary winter, the Harlem Shakes ran with everything they were given.
