The venue was very pleasant.
We spread out our picnic basket and blanket on the lawn and my wife, daughter and I had a delightful time.
Unfortunately, you could only hear but not see the concert from the lawn seats. Part of the whole draw of a Feist concert is the creative overhead low tech high imagination aspect.
The crowd was dancing alot more in Atlanta, but part of that is the venue.
What serendipity.
I was in Atlanta for the National High School Chess Championships, and I just happened to see that Feist was playing that night. I had only heard of one or two of her songs. I had a hard time getting the tickets on line, and when I showed up the box office was table on a lawn. Turns out the indoor venue had just been taken out by the tornadoes that hit downtown Atlanta. As a result, we lucked out with a beautiful evening outside, with lawn seats not 20 feet from the stage. I was so impressed with the variety and emotion of her style that I snarfed up one CD at the festival and the other two on line when I got home. I am amazed by her music. Other pop artists today I find monotonous with their single vocal sound. Ms. Feist mixes it up with sound and light.
I didn't even know who Feist was Last year at this time. I was surfing you tube and ran across one of her renditions of "let it die" and it was the worst case of love at first sight I've ever had. I havn't seen anybody get their hooks into a song that way since Patsy Cline. The Berkley show was my first chance to see her live and I'm so glad I didn't miss it. My girlfriend couldn't make it , 130 + miles from home, but I went any way, I gave her ticket to a very gratful fan outside the gate.This show was awsome, every thing was as perfect as a shiny new diamond. Easily the best concert Ive been to and we get a lot of them at Konocti. About mid concert she did a song with an acoustic guitar that I've never heard before. I think it was called sunset, absolutly beautiful. That was the only song I caught on camera and I've been careful not to post it because I don't know If she'd like that. I haven't even downloaded it to my pc. but Ive played for some of my friends and the reaction is pretty much the same. They hold my little camera to there ear, then their eyes start to glaze over and their jaw goes slack. They listen to the whole song and the usually hand my camera back a little stunned.
A pleasure to listen to, a delight to see live :)
I really enjoyed the show. I thought it was highly entertaining for my ears and eyes! Nice work on the back screen art stuff... it was amazing and so imaginative. Thanks to Feist and friends for the great evening! Long life to Feist!
