No, really. You have to go & the sooner the better.Even if i only sorta-kinda liked a group, i would go if they played this venue.
I've seen other postings that did not so-love the space. We sat about 30 rows back, dead center and well, friends, it was fan-freakin'-tastic. We were pretty damn close & the sound was absolutely amazing.
Last month i was able to see The Pretty Lady sing at the Nokia (Otherwise known as Tori Amos).
Now, i've been a devout fan since 14 to ms. tori and have seen her play in about four other venues. This, by far, was the best sound/show i've ever seen. So i will use the rest of this posting to go on about the show, but what really what made it stand out was the venue (We saw her peform the week before in OakTown & it was nice, but nothing. nothing. like this). The Nokia is the future of performance spaces; and the malt balls weren't bad either.
YouTube has an impressive list of numbers played, i'm getting chills listening to them as i type... And the fact that someone's iPhone recorded these and they sound pretty damn good third generation on my so-so computer speakers---Enough said.
One of the most amazing songs ever written about the ending of a relationship is Cooling, and this clip is awesome (There is an interlude, which for me is not my favorite, but the rest is bliss.).
Others worth checking out (really just because they are the best quality clips i could find):
So, we waited two years for this tour and it was definitely worth the wait. It seems there won't be another one for some time, sigh. Next time we are all going. To witness this genius woman do her thing is something i cherish and almost makes me believe in gods.
