Fantastic Performance Art
by RaTght on 9/23/18The Mann Center - PhiladelphiaBrilliant performance by Mr. Byrne and his "marching band", who never stopped moving with intricate dancing and choreography - a total performance. Fantastic minimalist staging and lighting that was more impressive than huge laser light shows. Good mix of old and new tunes (wished more a few more TH songs though), that really highlighted DB/TH's funky, polyrhythmic grooves. The one low point however was the last encore which was a "protest" song that was unnecessarily political and just a really bad and boring chant, a real letdown after such a fine show. The Mann is a great venue, but I hate having to wear hearing protection for acts that don't need to be LOUD (note to the sound team: loud != good sound). I was also very surprised the show wasn't sold out. Looking forward to see DB again!
