Great show...great location for the show (Birchmere). Front seats!
A great show with songs from Oldham's greater catalogue. I'll see him every chance I get! The other musicians in the band were top notch. The drummer and fiddle player/vocalist stood out as being exceptional.
Will Oldham is so talented, and his band is as well (diverse), but the show needed a little more variety to reach maximum performance potential...
Fantastic fantastic show. First time I had seen him in a couple of years and he is still just a joy to watch perform.
Will Oldham is a strange man, but he knows how to put on a great live show. His current touring band sounds great together and songs that are a bit mellow on his CDs are presented with more energy in the live setting, with his folk leanings mostly taking a backseat to a harder edged set. Highly recommended.
BPB's performance was excellent. I'm a big fan of his albums and it was my first time seeing him live. The venue was kinda lame though. It was like a dinner theater setting. Not like a normal venue. He even commented on it... There were constantly servers bugging you during the set trying to sell drinks which is rather distracting...
This show was just so good- Bonnie and the band were so talented and played each song with so much feeling.
as usual, the Troc's sound left something to be desired and the opening act was pretty much atrocious. BPB & his band however were extremely into their music and very interesting to look at. great show, overall!
a casual country rock & roll evening of serious & fun contemplation, celebration & confusion. you know--laughed, cried. oldham & band were simply terrific: beautiful, but imperfect; rollicking, yet cohesive; it all leaving me feeling sublimely human.
I have been an Oldham fan for some time, but I expected his show to be understated like many of his albums. Not even close... 8 piece band and a show I'll never forget!
This may have been the best live show I've seen in my entire life.
