garranHaving now been twice to shows at the Media Club, I feel like I'm in a position to say that I do not like the venue. Tonight it was stiflingly hot and there wasn't really anywhere to sit and one couldn't see the stage for the crowd, and the place I eventually found that rectified the latter two problems was pretty uncomfortable. For some peculiar and heretofore unexamined reason, when I imagined this show in the time leading up to it, I always pictured it taking place at the Cultch; as a setting, that may have really felt a bit too domesticated for a concert like this one, but I would have been a lot more comfortable.
The performance itself was good. He varied his singing from the recorded versions a lot more than I'm used to, altering the whole rhythm of song-segments or rephrasing lyrics in apparently improvised ways. This was interesting but difficult to sing along to.
There seemed to be a really disproportionate number of rowdy drunk people on the buses tonight. They certainly weren't all at the concert; I wonder if something else was going on?
