It was every thing I had dreamed of and more. After seeing Something Corporate two summers ago, I expected nothing less than genius. Andrew McMahon really words fail me. The old songs were incredible live and the new songs heartwrenchingly beautiful in its execution
Full review is up at my music blog on Wordpress (4rightchords) but suffice it to say here that, as usual, Andrew McMahon gave 125% and played what was pretty much my dream setlist. Smiling and singing away, Jack's Mannequin is a joy and privilege to behold live. I wish half the big acts out there gave this much genuine passion in their live shows.
I went to my first concert ever. It was Jack's Mannequin and I did this because they are one of my favorite bands. The last time they came to Ontario, Canada they played in a bar. And not being 19 at the time I could not attend. However this time they played for all ages. You know you are seeing a great band when you can look up on stage and tell right away that the band is not only more excited, but it also brings them more joy to play for you than you are getting out of seeing them. There were well over 200 people there but you felt as though they were playing just for you. I walked out after feeling well satisfied and pleased that I had just witnessed perfection, then woke up with deep regret that I would have to wait so long to see them again.
Not only is The Sounds Academy one of the best places for a band to play but Jack's Mannequin is one of the nest bands to perform live. Andrew McMahon is a beyond amazing musician and if you are ever able to see a show or even just listen to his music, do it.
Amazing!!! Great concert, great opening band! Awesome experience! Andrew seems so personable and did so much for the fans!
amazing performance! a lot of interaction with the audience!
They played an unbelievable concert; I could see them live everyday and not get sick of them!
To write a review with my limited technical know how would only leave you with part of the true feeling this show had. So in a word......Breathtaking. I didn't stick around for jack's mannequin. But I did drive a total of 600km to see Allen Stone. Completely worth the hour long set. Nobody plays(or feels) a soul/funk sound like these guys do. The next CANADIAN date I will be going to see him again. He's playing in San Fran on the 26th of November and I might just make the trip.
Finally, they came to Edmonton. No longer did I have to go to Vancouver to see them. Amazing acoustics and a spectacular light show. Glad to hear that one of their opening bands (Lady Danville) made it to the venue, even after their van (Brenda) flipped on route to Edmonton. Lady Danville had a similar vibe to Jack's Mannequin. Alan Stone (the other opener) had more of a reggae feel to them. Both openers were great! As always, Andrew & his crew rocked out. I love how they put everything into their playing. There was a great mix of songs from all three albums.
Andrew has such great energy on stage. He really is a performer, I've always been a fan. Feel as though I've been along for the ride with him. My absolute favourite.
