Great Performances!
by Mo0411 on 2/10/13Madison Square Garden - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5I had my doubts about Passion Pit. Their music is great..but its all auto-tune and a lot of it is computer based. Knowing that, I was skeptical of their performance skills. But it was a great show!
First of all...those of us who were there know that we had the huge nor'easter. It was difficult to get to the Garden, and maybe they should have postponed. But they didn't, and I am glad I was able to go! Many weren't. There were a lot of empty seats and empty GA space.
Icona Pop started off (and on time, to my dismay. I was late because of security and missed most of them) but they were great. Then came the real treat- Matt and Kim! This duo, whom I had the pleasure of seeing recently at Terminal 5, have an incredible energy and incredible stage performance! Kim walking on the audience's hands with her injured foot...they really set the stage for Passion Pit!
Passion Pit was great too! Lots of energy, lots of lighting, and a great variety of songs from past to the new album. I love when the artists allow the audience to participate (by not singing the obvious lyrics and throwing the microphone in the direction of the audience) and there was plenty of that.
Most of all, it was great that all three bands acknowledged the storm and thanked the audience for making it out in the crummy weather. Very gracious of them!
