As soon as drummer Jim Eno began to hammer in the intro to “I Turn My Camera On,” the crowd howled in unison and commenced the shoulder-driven dancing the beautiful song demands. With crowd energy at a maximum, Spoon raged through a sizeable chunk of “Fiction” that included their most recent hit, “The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine.” Following this loveable...
