Subject: sk @ northampton rocked ass
hi,
here is my review of the northampton show last night:
i dont have a very detailed review for you all, but the
show last night at
northampton was amazing. there seemed to be some "minor"
mishaps with the
band (i think corin mixed up words on "one beat", but it
might just be i
remember the song wrong?).
corin seems to have changed the singing style on some
songs, and for the
better, i might add; though in some spots, it seemed like
her throat might
still be giving her trouble? but, the way she sang "words
and guitar - we
got it!" blew me away. fabulous! she seemed to be having a
great time. also,
i didnt get a good look, but was she wearing JEANS? last
time i saw corin in
pants, it was 1996...
carrie did all sorts of crazy new guitar licks, most
memorably at the end of
"youre no rock and roll fun". as someone else noticed at
another show, she
was smiling an awful lot, which was good to see. carrie
also thanked the
audience for dancing. when they were about to start "step
aside", carrie
intro-ed the song by saying "well this is where we
normally ask the audience
to dance, but you all have been dancing all night!" or
something like that.
janet, well, i think anyone who has seen her play knows
there is no way to
get any better at the drums than she already is. awesome
timing, great
improv skills, and she does it all looking like she is
dancing, not
drumming.
the audience was way better than i have ever seen them be,
whenever sk have
played in MA. i think that really encouraged sk to give
all they've got,
which was plenty and then some.
so, BIG THANKS to the audience for being "the best one so
far of their tour"
(did carrie really say that? or did i hear here wrong?)
and VERY BIG THANKS to sk for the best show ive ever been
at, by any band,
ever.
these are some songs that they played. i'm trying to
remember them all -
they must have played over an hour's worth of songs. this
is NOT in the
order they played them, im sure, except they did start
with oxygen and o2.
oxygen
o2
far away
one beat
the remainder
light rail coyote
step aside
combat rock
hollywood ending
sympathy
new song (with tambourine and hand flourishes)
youth decay
youre no rock and roll fun
get up
start together
dig me out
turn it on (!!!! love this song!)
words and guitar
call the doctor
joey ramone
i think thats all, but i might have forgotten one or more?
i still have yet to see funeral song live. i would really,
really like to;)
the black keys: i liked the drums. a real lot. i was
moving to almost every
song, because of the drums. the guitar was all-right,
technically probably
great, but i dont know much about that... i was very
amazed at the low end
sound that the guy got out of his guitar. i kept thinking
there was a
bassist, but no, there wasnt....
over all i liked their set. not something i would listen
to all that much.
most of the songs, to me, sounded pretty similar to each
other. but there
were at least two ones that stood out as being pretty neat
songs.
the venue: sooo much better than the friggin ROXY. pearl
street cafe seemed
to be a good atmosphere. there were nice people working
there, and a good
audience (maybe that part doesnt have anything to do with
the venue,
though). and, no stinking idiotic platform in the middle
of the room. pearl
street, using basic logic skills, knew to have the raised
sections on the
sides and back of the room. doesnt that just make so much
more sense? i was
very pleased with this venue;)
so that's my thoughts on the show. im still giddy from it,
12 hours
later.... amazing.
take care
cyndi
