David and crew came out about 9:50 PM and played till just after 11. I was once again stretching my music knowledge by attending an artist's show of which I know only his latest release; Curse Your Branches" which is an amazingly lyrical disc.Most of the songs performed were done to appease the vocal masses for the die-hard PTL (Pedro the Lion) fans and here, he did not disappoint.
I'm still trying to figure out his mass appeal. Did the people here really get the lyrics, I mean they must have to attended. The crowd was mostly younger 25 somethings or others and in my opinion we were all commiserating on this cold/wet/spring evening on life and it's twists and turns.
It was a good show with the song selection building a crescendo through-out the evening. Highlights were the pop infused Please Baby Please, Bad Diary Days, Penetration and closing the show with an orchestral moving version of In Stitches.
I came in a fan of Curse Your Branches and left a fan of PTL and his catalog.
