A long evening with Cake
by Patlach666 on 2010-04-21Edmonton Event Centre - EdmontonFor a band who has gotten so many great songs, I was a bit surprised to see that the band entertained us with pretty long monologues, had the crowd yell, sing and applaude and came up with about 7 or 8 songs that were rather new or not very good instead of delighting us with classics! I have to say that musically, Cake was great! The band is super tight and youo can tell that they are pros! However, we only heard about 13-14 songe all together in over 2 hours of show. It is unfortunate that the time was spent on other things than pleasing the crowd. I could tell that people around me were getting a bit annoyed at the fact that we were asked to clap and sing for minutes and minutes instead of listening to some music. Anyways, next time they are around, I hope we will all know the new songs as well as the older ones and I hpoe that I'll see them for what they are good at: playing music! Cheers!
