okay. so my last post was about how i enjoy when musicians have means to play their shows live with the full sound capabilities of their albums. well, here's the opposite to that.
sometime a while back i had the opportunity to see the band, the blow live in concert. here i use the term 'band' lightly. when she played this show in particular it was the blow, the one girl, alone with her music being played through the sound system.
believe you me. at first i was mightily skeptical as to this crazy concoction. when i go to concerts i enjoy picking out the different parts of the music and seeing the musicians play the parts and see the actual kinetic happenings of music. so at first i was let down.
then i was brought back up.
the show was amazing. since the blow doesn't play any instruments during live shows it was essentially a glorified karaoke performance with her singing and dancing to her own music. and i know, it doesn't sound all that great, but it ended up being a memorable performance.
so this brings me to the importance of what i need to see in a live show. i still want to see the musicians doin' their thang, but there is now a realm where that doesn't have to happen. would it be possible for me to go to a show and only see a musician, a drummer perhaps, and cut out everyone else? it doesn't seem like a great show to me, but the possibility now exists for me to still enjoy myself. but where to draw the line? eh?
eh??
