Pertaining to live music, Gomez at the Tivoli last night was the best $70 I've ever spent. Freaking amazing. Their catchy and straightforward, yet earnest and soulful songs were performed just brilliantly. So rich in sound, with their plethora of instruments and effects, they filled the entire room with music and atmosphere. And the vocals, OHMYGOD the vocals were powerful, that gravelly husky voice that comes through among the harmonies, as well as belted out loudly over everything else. The dynamics of the performance was impeccable - the timing, the pauses and the variations in intensity were all perfectly delivered. Gomez pleased the crowd with most of the songs from How We Operate as well as an even selection from the other albums, and worked hard in a beautiful one-and-a-half-hour set. And these guys just loved what they were doing and really meant it.

Jealous!! Did they do much from Liquid Skin?
(this comment may have popped up a few times... it seems I can't comment on blogs that don't have beta and I do?!? I don't know, I'm confused. Anyway, it's Annabel)
I dunno what beta is, but I tried to comment on your blog and it didn't work!
Annabel, they played California, We Haven't Turned Around, Fill My Cup, Revolutionary Kind and Bring It On!
Ok yeah, I hate you. We Haven't Turned Around is my favourite!!!
