Originally posted by Jaguar:Artscape was absolutely incredible. There being no light show would only have mattered if the giant rainbow hadn't appeared during North Country (what they called the best light show they've ever had). The mix on Saturday was better, not sure which show I enjoyed more, though.
Originally posted by Got Haggis?:I was wondering how that went. Never made it down because I just didn't feel like dealing with all of that sporatic rain and crowds outside. Just wasn't all worth it to me. Also, considering that it was still broad daylight, I figured they'd have to nix the light show…which had nothing to do with why I didn't go. Surprised they didn't take the shows inside considering the rains were a given factor. Maybe they didn't want to pay the rent.
it kept raining when they were playing at artscape, so didn't manage to catch much of them…well could listen, but not see. kept running back to the tent by MICA. but i did think they sounded better (and had a bit more energy) than last time I saw them @ rams head live about a year or so ago (strangely, also a free show)
Simple Machines roll call
Originally posted by Joe M.:Man, lightning blue eyes was fantastic, and I Hate Pretending was one of the most energetic moments of the show (A song they played last year, by the way). The drum solo into chaos at the end, followed by the silence cutoff, is just amazing.
Did the light show overshadowed the mediocreness of the songs from their latest album?
To go with the rainbow in Baltimore, my friend told me that they ended it short with Nowhere Again because of some rumored lightning. But the song has the perfect lyrics for the occasion (rainbow):
"maybe the rain will stop following me, with millions of colors reflected in daylight"
