Mind Has Officially Been Blown

Last night I saw City and Colour (my favorite band ever, ever) at the Music Box in Hollywood and all I'm going to say is that Dallas Green is an incredibly talented man.

Set List included:

The Girl

Constant Knot

Body in a Box

As Much As I Ever Could

Sleeping Sickness

Forgive Me

Day Old Hate

The Death of Me

That's all I can remember right now. He played some new songs too, which of course were really good.

When it was all over, the crowd was chanting for an encore. Dallas walked out, by himself, no guitar, and stood in front of the mic. The whole room was dark and he had one spotlight on him. He gave the most heartfelt speech of gratitude to all of his fans and then left us with one last song. The most beautiful, accapella rendition of "Grinnin' In Your Face" by Son House. It kinda went something like this, but this is from a show in September. Same diff.

It was amazing. The whole crowd was silent and then we all started stomping and clapping. It was really cool. He blew my mind. Major.

Lissie opened for him. She had a very unique voice, almost haunting. BUT — yes, there's always a but — her voice kept cracking when she was going in for the high notes. Maybe it was because she was getting over being sick, but there were certain points during her set that my ears literally hurt. Eeeek! I even saw one guy standing kind of near me who looked like he was falling asleep. I'm not quite sure what exactly I think of her. I think she sounds better in her recording sessions than live.

So that's my concert review. Sufficient and complete.
