| Saw David Gray tonight at Radio City Music Hall. First of, that venue is breathtaking. I had a blast just walking around before the show, checking things out and taking it all in (I mean, they've got foot pedal-operated blow dryers for christ's sake!). The acoustics were amazing (as you would expect) and looking back at the mezzanines during the show, I was just taken in. I can say without hesitation that tonight was the best I've concert I've been to since Dido a couple years back and it's definitely top five all time. I had reservations going by myself, but I picked exactly the right show to do so. Though Christa turned me onto him, I've always felt David Gray was one of those artists that was mine, one that I didn't necessarily share with a past or present love. There were times tonight I just got taken into so completely that from the outside I may have seemed distant or bored, but in reality I was just completely zoned in and connected with the music and the man. He was so professional during the show, keeping the chit chat down to a minimum, but you could tell the joy he derives from performing. He plays the paino, guitar, even the harmonica, and to top it all off he's a very sharp dresser... I don't know if there's anything that man can't do. I also can't remember the last time I teared up during a concert. One of the perks of checking the show out by myself is I had exceptational seats: I was six rows back, center stage. I may have been closer to the stage in past shows, but these were by far the best seats I've ever had. I'm so glad I indulged myself, bit the bullet, and bought a ticket for this show. Tonight's show just put everything is a sort of calm prespective; it allowed me to enter into that moment so completely (the way few shows can) and was immensely cathartic and much needed. And while it temporarily satisfied the overwhelming itch for a concert that had plauged me since I got down here, I'm thristing more for. Fiona's coming in December, hmm... |

Leeder5421 | 10-07-05 12:14pm You're a lucky s.o.b. Guess who I saw in concert last weekend? SEAL! My roommate got free tickets, and while I normally probably wouldn't have gone, they were box seats. It was awesome, we had people waiting on us and everything. Still, I would have preferrred David Gray in terms of music. You should show me a list of what concert acts are coming up in NYC, that way it will help me plan when I could visit. |
