make_your_moveFirst off, I totally blame and am forever grateful to mellyflori for handing me 2 of their CD's a few years ago and saying "You'll really like these guys". Furthermore I must again blame both mellyflori and wilfulcait for calling me 2 years ago and offering me a chance to see them live at the 9:30 club (on St. Paddy's Day no less!) and totally turn me into a fangirl. As it's been said of the band, "They are not something you see, they're something you experience. And
OMG!!!! They so rocked ... I have
. I uploaded 5 pictures, but I can't seem to get them all in the same gallery (at some point, someone needs to help me learn to deal with managing that thing. Oh, fuck it, here's a picture from 2nd encore. the very last song, sang acapella, w/o mikes and you could of heard a pin drop.
I sang, I danced, I jumped up and down. I shared the evening with some of my favorite people lapsedagnostic, my daughter A, her friend C, ani_moore, russell_moore, pyrategrrl, my friend Sue, mellyflori, wilfulcait, Cait's mom & daughters, svandevander, kfitzwarin. My new friends ipso_facto, mydwinter, lusciousmango to name a few. Not only that -- I ran into a bunch of other friends that I had no idea were GBS fans. I couldn't of been happier.
A bit on the down side the sound mixing sucked :( -- Not the boys, they sounded great ... but the sound guy needed to soundly beaten with a stick. All the acapella stuff they did was gorgeous, and the acoustics in the hall are such that they didn't need mic's. The sound mixing wasn't as much of an issue for me, because I pretty know every song they've done, but if you didn't know their stuff, it was hard to hear the words and affected the enjoyment of my peeps. Oh, and the hall could of been cooler -- but otherwise I was pretty much stupid happy.
For my Boston friends - *cough*liamstliam*cough* - you are in for a real treat. If you're up there and can tickets ... GO, you won't regret it. My only regret ... I wish I could fly into Kitchner one evening early, May 4th to see GBS before attending the wedding (across the provence) of much_ado & matthew_g. So my northern friends ... if you have time in your week, go grab the show in Kitchner and then tell me about it when we get there on Friday.
Bought the DVD *worth*every*penny* -- want to do it again right now.
Happy Fangirl Squee

Date: 2006-04-29 07:38 pm (UTC)It's a shame I missed GBS, I like them a lot, and I had the same experience seeing TMBG.
Glad you enjoyed yourself! Shame about the sound-mixing though. I saw Vertical Horizon once, and that show had the same problem, I couldn't make out what they were saying worth a damn, which was sad because I'd never heard any of their stuff before. Oh well.
P.S.: We should schmooze some time. Or hang out again. You still have to make good on your promise/threat to turn me into a gentleman. ;)
