The audience is instantly transfixed beneath the hazy multicoloured smoke as the band weave tales through their riffs and percussion. The poignancy of the vocal found on 'Catastrophe and the Cure' is chilling and by the finale of 'The Moon Is Down' the crowd is so secure and comfortable within the ethereal, majestic world of Explosions In the Sky it makes reality seem somewhat of a disappointment.
I've been lucky this summer. I've seen Explosions In The Sky twice. Thankfully, one of those shows was at a venue with a decent sound system. Or a decent sound guy.
Or both. Sadly, last night's show was a disappointment based purely on the sound. The visuals, marrying the amazing, emotive soundscapes with such atmospheric lighting creates a wildly impressive experience which worked in the Academy as well as at a much smaller venue earlier on this tour. What really disappointed was the quality of sound coming from the stacks at the numerous drops, either screeching with feedback and little else or filling the room with the dull thud of the bass and low-range drums.
I left well before the end, disappointed that a band with such captivating music failed to truly excite a partisan crowd. Surely I wasn't the only one to feel sorry for both the band and the crowd who'd made as much effort to be there as the five guys on stage? The connection was clearly there, just not through the sound.
When I discovered Explosions in the Sky I was at least 15 years old and I was very impressed by the feelings they gave me when listening to their music, 15 years later the feeling is still alive and seeing them live has been, personally, one of the experiences most rewarding of my life, for the long wait, for the reward.
Each passage of the concert has been magical and unforgettable. Many thanks to Explosions in the Sky for reviving me once again. This was one of the very best live shows I have ever seen. The band hardly talks at all--they just show up and play with feeling. They didn't miss a single note, and the audience gets a chance to see how some of the more creative sounds are made i.
The music only stops when silence is the appropriate sound; the rest of the show is nonstop, one song bleeding over into the next. The synchronized lighting was true art. It's been a long 5 years since I've seen them and wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't think they could get any better than the last time I saw them live, but I was wrong.
It was an Amazing show at Terminal 5. They've added another musician to the live act, which I was not aware of before the show. Originally wasn't crazy about the newest album, but I grew on me and after seeing 4 of the new songs performed live, I am now a huge fan of the new album.
Setlist available at:. The venue is really nice and the performance was flawless. It was done in a way where one song blends with the next. Acoustics of the Fox Theater suck for loud concerts though, the reverb was making it sound very busy at times and the subtleties of the new album's glitches and electronics were mostly gone. As for the band, they not only don't have lyrics, they also don't speak to the audience at all.
And there's no encores. So that was unusual. Incredible and moving. They played a continuous set for over 90 minutes, seamlessly bridging each song. I've never had a concert experience like it before. They gave a true gift to the audience, and as I was watching I had the repeated thought, "Thank God for artists!
