The show was amazing.
Getting to feel the crowd at a live performance is pretty amazing all by itself, and I've often found myself getting swept up into a show when I wasn't a fan, just on the strength of the devotion to the band I could feel from the crowd. Examples: Nine Inch Nails (I grew up in Puerto Rico, had never even heard of the band, saw them about a month after I moved to the States and haven't stopped listening since), Linkin Park (they have a great vibe live), and Queens of the Stone Age (I like three of their songs offstage; live, I love it all).
Delerium has always been a strange animal for me. I love their CDs but mostly on the strength of their collaborations (Silence featuring Sarah MacLachan, Fallen Icon featuring Jenifer Mclaren, and Flowers Become Screens featuring Kristy Thirsk, being the most prominent) so I didn't quite know what to expect from a live show by the band without any of the high-profile guests.
They were incredibly good. The band was tight, the singers were good enough to put out a reasonable rendition of Silence, and the bass player, whose name it is now my quest to discover, had enough stage presence to carry the rest of the group.
This all adds up to: They sounded great, I heard some of my favorite songs, and I danced my ass OFF!@!
All in all, a great Sunday night.
