Piano Magic Live
So, I finally made this one! Saturday night, after a pint of Guinness (since An Club didn't open until 22.00) and there we were just in front of the small stage with a second beer in our hands awaiting for the Magic to appear on stage. This took a while longer since the band finally made their appearance a few minutes before 23.00, but who cared? (not me definitely, since after Animals Collective's solo trip, we were in full company this time)
The club was quite packed (but not a full house by all means) and the atmosphere was just perfect for quickly diving into Piano Magic's dreamy guitar sound. The guys (and gal) were in a cheerful mood and felt right at home by the crowd (they keep coming back to Athens every year so they must be quite familiar with the local scene/crowd by now). What followed was something more than an hour of really beautiful music from new and old material (including a Dead Can Dance cover). The small stage of An Club really suits the band and the crowd made sure that this was going to feel like a pleasant Saturday night-out hanging around with friends on the local pub, while enjoying your favorite tracks. All in all, a really nice performance; if only it didn't cost 35 euros :-)
Ωραίο ακούγεται, όμως αρχίζει να ΜΕ τη σπάει πολύ η ταρίφα της "ώρας και και κάτι ψιλά" σχεδόν όλων των συγκροτημάτων. Αλησμόνητο θα μου μείνει ένα live από τις Τρύπες, όπου τα παλικάρια έπαιζαν επί 4μισι ώρες!! Αφού τους παρακαλούσαμε να σταματήσουν γιατί δεν αντέχαμε άλλο!
το μόνο τέτοιο τελευταία ήταν ο cohen που έπαιξε 3 ώρες και άντεχε και άλλο (εμείς που είμασταν από δουλειά παρότι μας άρεσε δεν αντέχαμε άλλη ορθοστασία :-)
...και μετά το χάος
