2. The Decemberists is the local band in Portland
that took advantage of Obama speaking there to perform before the largest crowd they had ever performed in front of.

They were later claimed to have been the real draw of the 76,000.

5. A Great Band fun to see but hardly with the draw of Madonna, U2, REM, Moby, or the Stones
Hell, they're not popular enough to have the draw of the White Stripes...same kind of cool new sound though roughly.

4. Right. Obama was just the opener.
Didn't you hear everybody stomping their feet and yelling him off the stage so the real show could begin?
