show report

for those of you wondering, the easy star all-stars were really really good. it was the perfect bit of dubby sunshine added to an otherwise cold wintery day. they were tight and sounded great. that was the first time i got to hear the great sound quality at the knitting factory (previous shows had been mostly dj stuff). not my favorite venue per se, but not bad either. it was packed too. full of what looked like lots of college boys. probably the kind of boys i hung out with in college.

you know the ones... stoner types just discovering the beautiful world of classic rock. they could sing dark side of the moon in their sleep. and have probably qued up the album to the "wizard of oz" cuz some other stoner dude told them it was "totally trippy man!" needless to say, the show made me feel like i was back in college, taking a tab and heading down to the science museum to go see the pink floyd lazer light show on a friday night. how could you not love that? besides, they played the album pretty much verbatim. i was kinda hoping for a bit more variation of some of the tracks (having listened to it over and over and over, it might have been nice to hear slightly tweaked versions) but it was still definitely cool. props to the musicians who held it down! i'd definitely see them again and would recommend the show. only next time, i'd rather be in a grassy field on a sunny day at an outdoor festival with a big ol' spliff in my hand, dubbing out!
