The doors open at 7:00 and so, we arrive at 7:30. With such a small venue, there must not be a very long time for the show to start...
8:30 and the Opener, MBF, pops out to do his thing. Lack of drums, lack of any back up, leads to quite a boring and unimpressive opening. Seeing him do his thing was alright, but I didn't go to see an acoustic show. after 1 and a half hours of waiting, I was about ready to boo him off the stage, but I didn't. It was at this point where my friend insisted I was a super fan, which I denied, but during Light's performances I realized, yah I'm a super fan.
9:30 LIGHTS shows up and the room sparks up. After such a long time of settling the crowd has kind of lost their excitement, which Lights would bring back to us.
Starting off with Second Go to jump start the crowd into it leading to her other more energetic songs : Lions, Ice, My Boots (New single, love it). With the small venue and close stage, it was easy for Lights to get the crowd into it with her energetic playing. Everyone wwas into it, and we all but forgot the 2 hours of waiting.
After the initial excitement, the drummer and other keyboardist left, and Lights breaks out the acoustic guitar and starts getting a little more intimate with her soothing songs: Pretend, River, that acoustic single that I can't remember the name to. It was a nice 'lighter's in the air' moment, but that actually came later in the show.
The slow intermission was over, and starts up again with her singles to get the energy levels up again with her singles: February Air, Saviour.
There were little interludes of just music that lead into songs. Not really any keyboard solo's but they were great leads into the songs.
She eventually made it through the entirety of "The Listening," which I sang along to every song, along with her other singles, and some covers, with the exception of Face Up, but that's ok, I don't like that song that much. She ended the concert with Drive My Soul, of course she did, what else would she end with.
But wait, there's more. The Encore was a little set, first playing the cover Foot Loose, and then ending with what Lights reffered to as a lullaby for us. I''m not sure what the song was, but it was a nice slow song to end the night. Which I guess was a little after 11:00.
