saw davíd garza, damien rice, and fiona apple tonight.
amazing show.
davíd garza was okay, but definitely not the side of his music i wanted to see.
damien rice was fantastic. especially his crazy 5-part loops at the end singing along with himself and pedal magic. excellent.
and then fiona came out and really just emptied her heart and her soul for us all -- broadcast it through every aching note. it was a raw, powerful, emotional, manic, beautiful performance -- a word which isn't really big enough for what she was doing on that stage.
i saw her years ago, and it was good, but it was nothing like this. this was intimate, and jarring, and transformative. i don't think i've ever seen a performer pour so much of herself out on stage. it must be that texas heat, it really makes you sweat.
anyway, bravo.
concert,
