Incredible music, even more incredible live!!!
by kuuguy on 11/28/09The Regency Ballroom - San FranciscoDisclaimer: This review will come nowhere remotely near doing these artists' live show justice but here goes regardless. Imagine Royksopp's chillingly beautiful melodies, heaven-scent harmonies, and effortlessly effective and silky smooth basslines, with an added ethereal ounce of perfection they are renowned for. Now picture this impeccably integrated and supplemented with LIVE vocals and instrumentation including drumming, bass guitar, and synths. Now add a couple of festively featured faces to finally put to the angelic voices behind the music. Insert some dancing-enhancing edits to the original material, a dynamic and strong stage presence, including outlandish costumes, masks, and trans-atlantic enthusiasm that's been festering over the course of a double digit hour flight. I have seen hundreds of shows and this will go down as one of the best, hands down. Two quotes I overhead on the way out after the show provide some good perspective. 1) "That was better than when I saw Daft Punk" 2) "I wish I was half as talented as those guys" I couldn't agree with the second comment more and I eagerly await the day where I have the opportunity to decide whether I agree with the first. In my opinion for the time being, there is Nor way you can top that performance!
