#26: Damien Rice (18-May-07) - Massey Hall
i almost didn't buy tickets to this show, but i'm glad i did. it was a little heavier and louder than i expected. when i think of damien rice, i think of a guy with his guitar or piano. but the show itself was really rock and loud, but with a cello on almost every song as well. that was an interesting juxtaposition, but it sounded really good.
i also wasn't sure if damien rice talks during his shows. he went through at least 3 or 4 songs before he talked to the audience, and then he proceeded to tell this long story about how the next song was written.
another thing he did was sing without a mike and without his guitar plugged in. the same thing chantal kreviazuk did at her show at massey hall in feb. but this time, i was in the 3rd row. either way, everyone would be able to hear, no matter where they were sitting.
one weird thing he did was the last song he did in the encore. someone dressed like a waiter came out on stage and poured him a glass of wine, and he sang while drinking it, and acting like he was drunk. stumbling around on stage with the glass of wine. i thought it was weird. it was like it all of a sudden turned into musical theatre or something.
he said he's coming back in sept. not sure if i'll go again, but i'm sure glad i went to this one. he puts on a good show. and his band is really good.
next up: fall out boy.
