Holy shit, amazing.
I have never heard/seen a band that good live and I fear it will never be topped. Norah's voice was absolutely perfect, arguably better than on her albums. Her backup band was just as talented, and every member was just as perfect at what they do. They all played different instruments (except for the drummer) and showed mastery of all of them. Her backup singers were perfect and synced up perfectly.
I was surprised to see Norah play so much guitar, and even some solos. I didn't realize she had the chops.
Technical-wise, the mix and volume were perfect. I like when that happens and that really enhanced the experience.
She played every song from her new album, The Fall (which I LOVE), and played many of her older tunes and some covers. She and her band weren't afraid to make some mood, structure and tempo changes to some of the songs, which is always a treat at a live concert.
For an encore, they just stuck a condenser mic at front and center stage, and the whole band just got in a half-circle and played a few acoustic tunes. Even without individual monitors or any gadgets, they all sounded perfect and balanced. What a truly remarkable and talented set of musicians!
Fuck I love her
If you haven't heard it, check out her latest album, The Fall. It's not the "Come Away With Me" Norah Jones you're used to...
