Concert Experience
Inlander:
When I saw Jens Lekman supporting Darren Hanlon earlier this year, when he finished his slot he said that he'd hang around with his ukelele after the gig to play any songs that fans requested, that didn't get played in the set. And apparently he was good to his word.
I went to see Sodastream last night, and I'd advise anybody in Australia to catch them if they're coming anywhere near you on their current tour. They played with a full band, and while the two of them by themselves are normally a treat anyway, having other instruments like drums, cello, and trombone, really made the gig something extra-special.
Reno:
I was right up front too.....stage right, infront of the keyboards.

i just saw the decemberists last night, and i was pleasantly surprised. normally, yeah, i like them, but it's not like i get too excited about their music. they've got a really great stage presence, and so much energy; the whole show was such a thrill. they're very good to their audience - lots of interaction, both amongst themselves (for everyone else's entertainment) and with the audience (for their amusement, i guess).
i'd definitely see them again, they're growing on me.
StrikeThePostman:
I saw the Decemberists last night too. Some of the music worked better live than I thought it would - A Cautionary Song, for example, was fantastic. It was the most fun I've had in a long time, and I was very close to the stage.
KharBevNor:
Isn't audience interaction when some dude tries to get up on stage and the bassists kicks him in the face? Or is it when the singer starts pouring beer in peoples mouths on the front row? I'm not quite sure.
Seriously though, I'm intriqued. What do you young people do at your independent rock and roll music recitals? Just sort of stand there?
