Everyone Needs A Light To Follow
I like to look around the venue when the Polyphonic Spree get revved up to full spectacle during a live show. I love seeing the look of amazement on the faces of the people who until that moment had never experienced Tim Delaughter's crazy band of musicians before1. Last night at The Vic lent to some amazing people watching... the huge toothless grin on the elderly man to my left2, the tween girls3 perhaps receiving some much needed schooling on what a rock show could be, the girl behind us tripping out of her mind and barely standing upright amidst the strobe lights. I actually rather like that the Spree pull out a completely different crowd than the jaded indierock kids I'm used to seeing shows amongst. At least this crowd was smiling and having a great time.
1 A huge thank you to Polyphonic Rick!
2 I still attest he was at least 70!
3 Obviously attending this gig to see either Rooney or The Redwalls.
