So Incredible
by CasualHerbieFan on 10/9/17Brighton Music Hall - BostonBest show of my life, hands down. Got there early (15 min after doors) and had to wait 2 hours for a not-bad DJ and a super lame techno guy to play their sets, but when 242 finally took the stage, I was in the 4th row and totally got blown away by an incredibly impressive set. So energetic, carefully calculated audio mix and visual supplements with an astonishingly strong performance by the crew -- dancing, hand gestures, vocals, live drumming, live keys. This was a real live show, not just a guy in front of a laptop on stage, and I loved it. LOVED it. I didn't even think to put 242 on my mental wish list b/c I didn't know they toured any more, but when I happened to see notice of the event THE DAY BEFORE while browsing listings, I had to jump on it and am so glad I did. Great show, great crowd, high energy and phenomenally engaging. I was literally entranced for a good portion of the middle of the set. Wow. Any fans of hard/dark electronic music NEED to catch a Front 242 show the next time they roll through your area.
