Good group. Mediocre show.
by EtceteraBilly on 2023-08-07Rating: 3 out of 5I went primarily to see Lucinda Williams with Big Thief as a bonus. I'm acquainted with Big Thief and know some of their songs, but I'm not an ardent fan like most of the audience. Adrianne is obviously a big talent — unique singer, good songwriter and inventive guitar player. However, the sound quality was poor and the band didn't seem to get their sound to their liking until well into the set. The last few songs were better than the first half of the concert. The informal approach to the performance was charming to a degree, but left me thinking I didn't get their best. Usually, the live performance is better than the records, but, in this case, the live performance was not nearly as good as the recordings. Disappointing.
