Good music, venue glitches
by Pat on 3/16/24Kiva Auditorium at the Albuquerque Convention Center - AlbuquerqueI didn't know GAI's music very well, musicianship from the 6 (!) man band was solid. Music seemed kind of all in a limited range of style and octave so for me it was hard to know diff between one song or another. Still as the show went on ended up feeling very engrossed. Soothing. The lighting was strange, rarely allowed for really seeing musicians in any detail. Rarely could I make out words of songs, it was kind of garbled sounding - sound? Or singer style? Not sure... **There was a door at back of stage. People, stage hands, were going in and out of door super casually, throughout the show, letting light out onto stage in the midst of all the dark, murky lighting, and cool imagery on screen at back of stage. At one point, someone literally just held the door open, light blaring on stage, for a couple minutes... chatting to someone in the hall? Super weird. Totally blew the whole lighting mood. Whatup gang? GAI seemed like a SUPER nice guy and they all clearly LOVED what they were doing. Left feeling calm and pleasant.
