The moment

Editors were touring An End Has a Start — the album that made them Britain's arena-bound heirs to the Bunnymen sound — but for John the bill read bottom-up: Louis XIV, the San Diego band whose records wore his design work, opening a gilded Boston theater. It's the last Louis XIV show in the archive, the end of a thread that runs from the Casbah in 1997 through Convoy, Scala, and Central Park. Comp tickets, with Jonas. Sometimes the opener is the headline of your own story.
