Last night I had the pleasure of catching Grizzly Bear at the Berklee Performance Center. Great show. Here We Go Magic opened up with some great tunes - really utilizing vocal harmonies from all 5 members of the group. Creator/lead-singer Luke Temple anchored the band, but it really was an ensemble production throughout.
When Grizzly Bear took the stage, you could feel an excited silence blanket the crowd. And Droste and company did not disappoint. Although it wasn't a flawless set - a little too loud at times, not a ton of variation from the album orchestrations, and a questionable encore pick - it was dead on almost the whole time.
The highlight of the show for me , unsurprisingly, was my favorite track off of Veckatimest, "Foreground". The track is epically beautiful, gentle, vulnerable - and in the seated Berklee theater it was perfect. Completely took advantage of the venue's phenomenal acoustics, and took my breath away.
Can't wait for Dirty Projectors and TV On The Radio tonight!
