Damien Rice Live!

(super-awesome mobile phone action photo)

Saw Damien Rice last night with my wife at the Paramount Theatre.

While I'm sort of ambivalent about his albums (hhd is a huge fan though), I have to say the whole performance was way classy. The band setup itself was tastefully done, with the drummer, bass guitarist and cellist on low risers and the entire dotted with candles. Rice alternated between playing a piano upstage and acoustic or electric guitars front and center. The sound was excellent and the venue wasn't even close to as horrid as we had expected.

All in all a surprisingly (for me) pleasant evening.
