Great, great show.... once the band came on stage
by cska91 on 2/28/11Ogden Theatre - DenverIt was a great show, I really enjoyed it. In live performance, Morcheeba sounds like a slightly different band than what you hear on their records. The songs came off more energetic, rockier, some of the songs were played a little faster than normal (i.e. than what's on their records) - they are a great live act! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Last time Morcheeba came to Denver, they were without Skye, and while it was a very good show, it was nowhere near what we heard on Saturday. The energy was different, Skye had the audience hooked, and Ross was a great part of the show. The set list was dominated by songs from Big Calm and the new album, with sprinkles from Charango and Fragments of Freedom. All in all, I totally love their performance. One down note - the show did not have an announced opening act. So the fact that the band went on stage more than an hour past the show's scheduled start was disappointing and the unexplained wait took away from the overall experience. It appears that the pair of DJs on stage when the doors to the theater opened were meant to be an opening act. of some sort Perhaps a clarification of their status would've made it appear more as being part of the show and less of a disrespect for the fans who were waiting all that extra time in a standing-room only venue.
