Title: Air 2010 US tourdates...
Post by: Igziabeher on March 22, 2010, 05:04:06 pm
when I say that they literally took a **** all over every live act i\'ve seen before saturday, i am not exaggerating in the least bit.  the sound at berklee was amazing and they proceeded to play the most tight, powerful, awe inspiring hour and a half set i\'ve seen any band lay down.  there are acts that stand out as having blown me away (daft punk @ lollapalooza, the flaming lips @ moe.down 4) and this topped the best of them.  the setlist was top notch, they played every song i could want to hear(kelly watch the stars, talisman, la femme d\'argent, venus, alpha beta gaga, cherry blossom girl, alone in kyoto, sexy boy, love, do the joy) and the light/projection production was top notch.  i\'ve never seen a more attentive crowd either.  if the music wasn\'t so loud, you\'d be able to hear a pindrop during the songs, everyone in attendance was sitting and just focused on hearing every last note and every second between songs they erupted in applause of the last song and anticipation of whats next.  half the crowd was speaking french or other languages, i wouldn\'t be surprised if a few hundred people came all the way from europe to see this tour.  the band seemed genuinely excited to be playing the venue and for us and it really showed in their flawless playing.

i am curious to hear reviews too Igzy!  Al Z- i think you should go, it\'ll be worth the $40.  Air doesn\'t come around to USA too often, and also, you will be seeing them as a 3 piece which is also rare too.  were you able to listen to Moon Safari or Love 2?  I am beyond bummed that i can\'t see them at walt disney concert hall on sunday

The good news is that I probably don\'t have to decide between a $50+ ticket and sitting out.  I volunteered to test some software at my work for a release that was postponed till this Friday evening.  I wouldn\'t be able to get to the show till 11pm (and Fox Theater shows start promptly at 8).  Takes care of that conflict.  Otherwise I would be awaiting Igz\'s review from the fence I was straddling.

Igz, how was your Air show?  They are playing down the street from me next week but I am hesitant to spend $40+ fees to check out a group I\'m not too familiar with.

Any reviews to tilt me in either direction?

Al Z- you listen to all sorts of cool music and you haven\'t heard of AIR?? you have to had heard of stuff from Moon Safari (le femme d\'argent, sexy boy, kelly watch the stars) or virgin suicides soundtrack.

also a big fan of talkie walkie(cherry blossom girl & surfin on a rocket esp)

saw them in \'07 at outdoor Greek Theater in LA with whole band, awesome show.  DESPERATELY looking for tickets for Walt Disney Concert Hall.  the Los Angeles Philharmonic plays at walt disney concert hall...imagine 3 piece Air in this architectually/acoustically epic venue!
