Delta Spirit killed it! Great venue. Love that they require covid safety proof.
Delta Spirit really crushed it. What an amazing concert.
Dope vibes. Excellent double headliner tour. Awesome encore!
I've seen Delta Spirit and always enjoyed their shows, but this latest format was truly something unique and special that I hadn't seen with any other band before. The show wasn't entirely acoustic but Matt Vasquez had an acoustic guitar the entire set. The songs were done with a full band but at a slower pace. You really got the impression that Delta Spirit realized that they've been a band for awhile and that they really wanted to do something special for their fans. This show was truly special indeed. With all the guest they brought on stage to perform songs with Delta Spirit or without, it truly added depth to the show. I know it will be awhile before Delta Spirit tours again and I'm glad to have caught them on this last leg of their unique touring experience.
What an amazing and intimate show!!! Incredible band, great venue!
Delta Spirit has an incredible energy and personality and they are incredibly talented to boot.
Let me first say that I am a long time fan of DS and see them every chance I can. I was very excited to hear about their show at sixth and I which is quite special for its intimacy and synagogue setting. It was also billed to be a special kind of show with special guests/friends, so I imagined they would play new arrangements, maybe even different instrumentation for the intimate environment. Instead, it was not much different than a show they would have played at the 9:30 club, except it was a smaller audience, seated crowd, and felt a little out of place when they kicked off with a full rocking version of Bushwick Blues. There were some golden moments like the acoustic trio of Devil Knows You're Dead, and when he took a call from his partner on speaker phone. One of their "friends", Jessica Lea Mayfield, definitely wasn't ready for prime time, which was unfortunate, but forgettable. Overall we enjoyed the show but have to call it average for the mismatch of arrangements with setting and disappointing special guests. Nevertheless, I can't wait for DS to return to DC!
The acoustics were amazing and there were many great moments along the way --- Kelly singing California, Erik Slick (Dr Dog) on Don't Let Me Down, acoustic version of Tear It Up among others --- but the fidgety crowd was itching to get to the bar. Often. And then the restrooms. Some strolled back in the door (near where we were sitting) and were oblivious to the music as if were just a jukebox at the local bar. I think this show was too special for that kind of casual attitude but you can only pick the band not the fans. Something seemed amiss with Jessica Lea Mayfield's contributions, didn't really fit in as well as expected. The band backed her up nicely but I expected duets with Matt similar to her work with Seth Avett. The "& friends" format is a great opportunity to do things you don't normally get to do and I didn't feel she and the band seized the moment. All in all this was a good experience. Delta Spirit is way underrated which is a good thing if you enjoy seeing bands in an intimate, unique setting. They rocked out on a few songs especially just before the encore but got the chance to showcase their immense lyrical and musical talent. Side note: if you ever go to this venue be sure to check the Verizon Center's schedule. The metro problems Thursday night along with the Kevin Hart performance at Verizon created 8PM gridlock and quite a few of us arrived late.
This was an absolutely amazing show! Delta spirit always delivers, and just 'has fun' with the audience instead of just performing. This time was even better, with loads of special guests singing their own songs AND delta spirits songs - Cold war kids, dawes..... Seriously the best way to spend a Monday night (or any night for that matter)! On a side note - the new Teragram Ballroom may be one of my new favorite venues in LA. Really great intimate place for a show.
