M83 show brings on nostalgic musings
A couple of years ago I went through this phase where all I listened to was moody, atmospheric electronica, like M83, Sigur Ros, Ulrich Schnauss and Royksopp. Last night I had the chance to see M83 perform live in support of 2008’s “Saturday=Youth” album, which was an interesting experience.
I’ve found that, like last night, when I see concerts recently it’s like I’m meditating or something. I was totally zoned out thinking of a time years ago when I walked home in the snow listening to “Run Into Flowers” and another time I went running with the Superpitcher remix of “Don’t Save Us From the Flames” blasting from my headphones on repeat. “Kim & Jessie,” video below, pulled me out of my reverie for a couple of minutes, as did the intense encore track, which had just about everyone dancing.
Overall a great show, although the staff at The Fillmore left something to be desired. Is there any good reason they forced everyone outside in the freezing cold to wait on jackets at coat check? I think not.
