Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

... and yes, she plays in New York 03/10/11 -- now all I have to do is convince Ben to go there with me. And the next day is my first Allman brothers Beacon run show ... now, wouldn´t that be nice?  big_smile

Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Saw GPN at the State Theater in Portland, ME Saturday night.  Finally got all my stuff organized.  Very different editing these pictures compared to Joe.

This band is amazing.  The energy level is ridiculously high, and the crowd and Grace seem to feed off each other big time.  I loved Grace's Hammond playing - boy does she get into her work.  Got lots of their older stuff nicely mixed in with the new.  I was afraid I would hear all stuff from the new album, glad to see the older songs are still here.  Very much a range of song styles, too.  Favorites were Stop the Bus and Medicine (especially the "group" drum solo).  Matt Burr is a great drummer - my brother (who is a great drummer) loved him "he plays notes", and Benny and Scott are both fantastic guitar players.  Cat was absent  sad  I guess she has been ill, have to wait for the next time I guess.

Here are my pictures:

And a couple of videos:

Didn't hang out by the bus, but I guess if I had I could have met the band.  Maybe next time.

Opener was Blues and Lasers.  This is actually the Nocturnals minus Grace and add a second drummer.  Good stuff, check it out on their website. A few pictures:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/24057301@N … 465488443/

Opener played a long set, and then Grace and the boys did a solid two hour set - I can't believe they (and the audience) were still standing.  Great night.

And I meant what I said on Facebook - all you older gentlemen going to see them better bring your portable defribillator with you - you are gonna need it!  smile

Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Thanks for the pics and videos Sandy, they look great! And good to hear that they´re playing a mix of old and new instead of only focusing on the new album. Did they play some covers too?

I definitely wanna try to see her in NY in March ... but I´m thinking -- maybe I should leave Ben at home??   wink
George - how about a trip in March?

Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

I'm going to try and get the show up in February. Off to get a 16gb memchip for the camera. That will be good for an hour and a half of raw HDvid. Yeah Eva, better leave Ben at home.  wink If not, just bring the leg irons.

Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Apparently my wife has bought tickets to Grace's Milwaukee show for my Xmas present. I am so looking forward to seeing this band live.

When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.
