We Love Melancholy Snipers
Midnight and the post-coital glow of a rapturous musical experience. It's difficult to get my thoughts together. Air were flat-out amazing. Without a doubt one of the best live shows I've ever been to. They ended the encore with an apocalyptic twelve-minute version of "La Femme D'argent" that with all the lights strobing hit a peak of such total sensory overload that they could only have topped it by detonating a nuke inside the theatre. I leapt up and shouted and clapped until my arms ached from the clapping and I could clap no more.
They only played fourteen songs including the encore, but they hit every one I really wanted needed to hear other than "How Does it Make You Feel?" and "Radio #1." Shit, they even played "Radian" and "People in the City." I still feel high from it--and I wasn't even high--just drunk with pure sensory pleasure. A post-sex feeling.
I should go write them a nice note on their myspace.
