Concert Experience

(1/6) > >>

Reno:
Attended my first concert that I was actualyl old enough to enjoy last night.  Arcade Fire here in Vancouver....wicked awesome show (anyone else go?)

This is the first time that I have attended an event with this many people and not one fight broke out...

I was really amazed at how quickly they have to setup and take down their sets.  Never really realized I guess.  

Well, gonna go nurse this headache now....spent the entire night front row, beside a monitor what was all Violin (not that that is a bad thing)

Thrillho:
'Wicked awesome?' You deserve that headache ;-)

Reno:
I could not think of better terms at the time due to headache.  In retrospect, a better term would be

Incredibly wonderfully, amazingly well put together.(especially La Belle Orchestra du Montreal)  Awesome, powerful music from all 3, and an obvious love for what they do.  They had great stage camradrie as well.

Coonstar:
Oh man. Yeah, Belle Orchestre was just so pretty. Such ethereal lighting too, a curtain of blues and pinks and indigos. Pretttty.

Wolf Parade was not bad, but I could barely hear the vocals. Not sure if it's because I was right up front. I was a little disappointed by their stage presence/energy though... maybe I have my friend to blame because he hyped them up so much for me. Dan was the only guy who seemed to be really into it (man. he needs to get fed.)... even Spencer barely looked out at the audience during their set.

The Arcade Fire was just.. wow. Even though they pretty much sound like how they do on the album, they just bring so much insane presence and energy. And Win whacking that guitar to bits? How unexpected!

But nothing was cooler than their encores. Oh my god, Wolf Parade went on stage with them, and they reached out for a random audience member (urgh, huge white guys were climbing over me trying to get onto the stage) and they ALL performed Wake Up. It was, insaaaaanity.

Then for their last encore, they actually jumped down from the stage, and walked single-file around the venue while still performing. I didn't recognize the song though.

Man. It was a pretty wild night.

Hah. One of the members from Wolf Parade was immediately at the merch table after the show. That's awesome.

dessa:
the last tea party concert i went to the guys hung around after the show and i got to have a beer with them... same with the shihad concert i went to.
alot of the smaller local bands that are really good hang around after their shows and talk and have beers with their fans.
