What is the last show that really impressed/excited you ?
What is the last show that really made a lasting impression on you & what do you remember of it ?
What is the reason you were impressed and giddy with excitement ?
Having seen a lot of shows or not so much, does it take even more to 'wow' you over & to make that connection even stronger ?
For me, it was seeing Fly Pan Am ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) in Montreal at La Sala Rossa last night (max. cap. 220 ppl!) as part of the Suoni Per Il Popolo festival
They have been inactive since 2006 (save for 1 reunion show last November 2018 that i unfortunately missed), although all members keep busy with projects and bands.
Needless to say i have very high expectations and very fond memories of seeing them at that same hometown venue in late 2006.......................and yes, they surpassed themselves : all new material unlike what they did prior live or recorded material.
What does this sounds like ? A mixture of funk, krautrock, musique concrète, punk (and a lot of remixing of themselves and sampling themselves) done by people who have played as a unit since 1996. Does it work ? Very well : they were super tight, used show projections, laptops, samples and electronics & bass, guitars, drums and processed vocals.
(Pardon me for the bad pictures and angle, but it gives you an idea of it all from my point of view when right next to the stage.)
Best part of it all ?
This was a (mostly) local show with 8 bands for 15$ !
