I have been lucky enough to see them 3 times now I believe and this was the second time at VP. I enjoyed it very much. This album is more heady but it still rocks, can't complain. They still did some favs from 23 and Misery. I got close this time to get some pics. I'd love to see them fill a bigger place. I read that they like to play loud and a bigger place would suit them nicely to blow it out more, when they get to rockin' What else can I say, if you like them or music anywhere near their style, this show is for you. Go see them if they come near you. I hope they make it back soon, but it will probably be another album away. Is it too early to call for a BR cover band to service the Atlanta area? I have seen ones exist for Metallica and Dave Matthews, one can only dream. I'd be happy with a nice concert Blu-ray to tide me over! Blonde Redhead rules! Lates.
Stunning. The most amazing concert of my life. The setting, the lights, everything was perfect. Magical. I slept so happy that night.
I've been a fan since "23", and, truth be told, was a tad disappointed with Penny Sparkle because it was a bit slow and meditative for my tastes.... or perhaps I was not prepared for that tack. Regardless, seeing them live was an absolute eye-opener. They are a GREAT band. (Sorry - I don't know any of their names!). The singer - sometime guitarist - songwriter is exquisitely powerful. From her very spiritual movements to her mesmerizing singing - or is it the other way around! - she is fantastic. The twins - drummer and (?) guitarist are truly outstanding - each equally fascinating to watch, and totally in command from a performance point of view. They were both exceptional. There was also a terrific bassist. Their stage presence was exceptional, their playing abilities tremendous... and holy crap - these "kids" can rock like there is no tomorrow! An exceptional concert experience - I've been to about 100 over the past thirty years. (btw - get there late - the back-up "band" - a loop "artist" - sucked. He sounded like someone just learning how to make tape loops... when they are bored. sorry bud - just telling it like it was.)
Awesome show Great Venue !!!!!! Band was great sound was amazing !!!!!
Blond redhead delivered an awesome show as always.
Small, intimate venue had me 5 feet from the stage even when I arrived late. The lighting was dramatic, the sound levels surprisingly good for such a small space. Blonde Redhead puts on a great live show, playing favorites beautifully and slipping in just a few from the latest album. Makino has an enchanting onstage presence. Pantha du Prince helped set the mood of dreamy energy.
this show was absolutely fantastic. it was my first time seeing blonde redhead and i think they did a stellar job. the lighting show was awesome and the music to die for obviously. go see them if you can :-)
I simply love this band & their unique music! Always evolving, maturing beautifully...their shows evoke a wide range of deep feelings. A truly great artistic band - I will always go out of my way to see them!
Blonde Redhead blew me away. I have been listening to their albums for about six years and have never heard them live and I was not disappointed. The changes between songs were so smooth, the energy in the audience was great, and the overall sound was fantastic. I hope to see them perform again!
My fiancee introduced me to Blonde redhead. Great band. Great performance.
Blonde Redhead was absolutely amazing, there just wasn't much support from the crowd. I think this was only because they are so underground, thats why they didnt sell out. But I loved all the room, I hate going to shows that are sold out cause the pit is way too crowded.
Fantastic show. Venue was perfect. The lighting was very nice and Blonde Redhead has amazing stage presence. Washed Out was a little boring and long, but was still enjoyable.
I went to this concert having not heard their latest release. Wireless technology is never a good idea. Kazu's in-ear monitor failed, and there were no floor backups on stage. She sang out of key, off tempo and often conflicted with backing track. I love their studio stuff. I advise anyone not wanting to be completely disenchanted with this otherwise amazing musical act to steer clear of live events in the future. It was a pretty strong setlist other than the lack of my personal favorites. It seemed like it was heavy on tracks from 23. I didn't hear Misery is a Butterfly, which is pretty much my favorite track. Also there was no In Particular.
Very little crowd interaction from the band. While I do not expect the cheesy "Hey St. Louis we really like it in this town," something would have been nice. I was quite surprised that they did not perform "Equus." Pitchfork listed that in their Top 500 tracks of the last decade. It's a great song with a lot of energy. It's often the only Blonde Redhead song people know. It's on samplers that get passed out.
The event started too late to be Sunday. The first songs were not easy to appreciate. From the middle to the end, the concert was great!!! The drummmer was unbelievable!!!(five stars!!!) About the singers: she was not so good as she can. He was great. I would recommend to this music band to play more "hard rock" songs.
The show was great. Blonde redhead played songs from a mix of albums, and the back-lit light show added to the magic of the night. Sometimes it seemed as though the crowd was lit more than the band. Grade A experience.
While the music sounded good, I paid good money to go to "SEE" a show. The band produced this fog (at their Magic Stick show in Downtown Detroit) that made them literally invisible on stage, which was a huge disappointment. I could have stayed at home and "LISTENED" to the music. I went to "SEE" the show. HUGE disappointment and they would have to pay me to go "LISTEN" to them next time.
