Gavin Degraw Boston reviews
What Every Concert Should Be Like !!
If all concerts were like that! You rarely see performers interact with the audience anymore, instead, you see them drowned in the combination of pyrotechnics and special effects, although it adds some spectacle, but in many cases, it overshadows the real attraction: the performer or band, and except for a brief moment during introduction or during the finale, you'll be lucky to feel any kind of interaction between the performer and the audience.
Here, we got the special treat of being part of a real and intimate event, where the line between performer and audience was definitely blurred, and a bridge has been established from the very beginning of the show, and all the way until the end.
It is a true delight to see both Colbie Caillat and Gavin Degraw interact with the audience, making you feel really part of an intimate performance. You leave the concert feeling you really got to know them, weather from a personal or professional side. Instead of jumping from one song to another, they each began each performance with a brief introduction, making you really understand where it came from and what inspired those lyrics. I can only wish more performers would make the audience feel at "home" while taking a step closer into their personal experiences and appreciate the songs and lyrics even more... The last time I saw that was when I saw Melissa Etheridge or Sarah McLachlan.
These types of performances are rare these days, and it's a true joy to be able to experience this bonus treat that makes such concerts so much more special an unique...
Oh did I mention that they were both phenomenal whether it was Gavin's energy and humor, or Colbie's grace and soothing voice . I had seen them performing in San DIego a few days before, because I bought the ticket 3 days before they announced the Vegas dare (I guess they are alternating opening duies, which makes sense), and I had to say, we got a special treat in Vegas when Colbie made a surprise appearance in a hot pink dress and sang along on Gavin's final song....
