Great Alex G performance. Pleasantly surprised
by Concert goer on 9/5/23Artpark Mainstage Theater - LewistonWe arrived early and picnicked along the gorge . First band started right on time which we appreciated because only 1/4 of the concert hall was full. We didn’t know who they were. No one announced them. They announced their last two songs and left the stage. Alex G and his 3 other band mates took stage un announced. Played there songs exactly like the albums. I thought they might improvise a bit as his music has an experimental flair but no. He had some private public conversations with people in the pit which made no sense to us in 1st Teri. This shows lack of stage presence when the whole audience is not part of the show. He said “ what do you know? One day you wake up and you’re in Lewiston!” Not saying he liked it or hated being there. He announced his last too songs and left. No encore. Said it was their last show of tour and it was sad thanked his band mates stage crew and roadies. We thought he was the headliner and had no idea what happened to alvvays . We thought maybe part of alvvays was the first band ? People left. We left. A friend of mine next day said alvvays was great. They performed after Alex G. Wow . Terrible organization and stage presence in my opinion not to stay around for the last band. Not to announce what band is playing. Guess we weren’t in the clique to know everything. Bad news because alvvays was who my girlfriend wanted to see and hear and didn’t get the opportunity. Oh well a couple strikes against Alex G. 1) no improvisation 2) not making everyone part of the show. Maybe it wasn’t his job to announce the next band… Not a mentioning the teeny poppers standing and jumping around I. Front of us. Do you have to stand at a concert nowadays? If I wanted to stand we would have bought space in the pit. No MC?
