Oofa.
by The Miss…. on 11/16/23The Observatory - Santa AnaWhere to start. Sound was terrible. Durand performed an insufferable amount of runs. It was impossible to get into the performance. While I appreciate his passion & story, it all felt heavy handed. Felt like 80% of the crowd was just standing around in a daze. In the moments when he reeled it in I felt moments of hope. We’d groove. Then ….. poof! Gone. I pushed and made it through. I think. Not sure if he did an encore. I just couldn’t take it anymore. I truly enjoy Durand with the Indications. I made the leap thinking his solo show would be chill & vibey. Um. Nope. I guess my bad. At least the show was close to home. Made for a quick drive home.
