Florence was great, the band is not what they used to be.
by Lindsay on 10/18/22Hollywood Bowl - HollywoodI’ve seen F+TM now 7 times. Twice on this tour (Austin and LA) and at various venues and festivals before. I know that this album (as well as the last two) has more of a produced sound compared to her first two albums, yet the musicality of the show just wasn’t there for me. Her voice is as powerful as ever and I always enjoy her meek, polite connection with the crowd. I just don’t think the band brings it like they used to. Kind of a bummer. It also feels like we are no longer going to concerts to enjoy music. Everyone around us at both shows talked the entire time. First show was in the pit, second was seated. Can we go back to being present and singing along at shows? Save the conversations for dinner?
