Really Enjoyed the concert. The band was having a goodtime as well as the audience. I have seen Blackfield before but this show seemed tigher than the last ones and the new songs were excellent. Like a fine wine they get better. Anathema acoustic was fantastic all the way too. Glad to see Blackfield bring a band like that out with them on the road.
Amazing show in a cool club would definately see them again and would see other acts at the royale
Love their music on disc & videos online - However, NOTHING prepared me for the dynamics of this band live. Watching them live is an exhilarating experience. PLUS, they really appear to genuinely appreciate the love & warmth of the audience. I've been attending concerts since the early 70's and BLACKFIELD is a TOP-TEN all-time. GREAT BAND = GREAT NIGHT
With a mixture of new music interwoven with their previously recorded material - blackfield took the audiance on an amazing ride through riff and tempo changes. Their music combined an artistic blend of melancholic acoustic / electric guitar and at times hard hitting percussion and keyboards. Lyrics are crushing and cutting at times and intenses and flowing at others. Great passion was shown in Geffen's on stage performance. The sound in the Royale was was good also considering the venue. The talent and performance was a great opportunity for Boston to see both an amazing guitarist in Steve Wison along w/ an up and coming lyricist w/ Geffen. Boston was lucky to have the sun shine on the Royale while others in the city dogged raindrops all day
I am a big fan of Porcupine Tree, and their frontman Steven Wilson is the congenial partner of his best buddy Aviv Geffen from Israel in this side-project. Heard their albums a lot when being on a plane or where so ever. But hearing and seeing them life on stage is a completely different a animal. It was amazing from the very first moment. The band was great, but as the majority of the people in the room I flet that Steven Wilson was the real rock star on the stage. The venue was kind of cool (The Royale is normaly an upscale nightclub), and the acoustics in the room were very good. Though it was very loud - may be a bit too loud as the ringing in my right ear lasted til Monday ;-) But it definitely was worth going there. You should know, that I flew into boston from Atlanta ;-) Just let me know when they are on tour again - I will be there!
It was a GREAT experience, especially the ANATHEMA part... Great Night!
Anathema opened with a very tasteful acoustic set, and Blackfield was outstanding. Great musicianship with incredible attention to audio detail for live performance.
