Damien Rice

Damien Rice is fucking phenomenal in concert. I couldn't believe it. He actually sounds BETTER than the cd. It was incredible. I can't wait for his new cd because all the new songs he played were great.

Next Fiona came on, I'm all excited about this ya know, it's Fiona Apple, but then she opened her mouth and this sound like a mix between singing and choking on a piece of wood came out and I was completely floored by the awfulness of it. Granted she's probably been singing every night for a while so her vocal chords are probably a little fucked, but man, she fucked up like that on EVERY SONG and didn't once, not ONCE, take a drink of water. There wasn't even a bottle of water around. I will say that she had a few songs mixed in where she didn't fuck up that bad, but it was just disappointing. We left before the encore, if there even was an encore.

However...the 45 minutes of Damien Rice was worth the $72 I spent on the ticket. He was THAT good.
