Phoenix band, September 21, 2010 at the SDSU Open Air Theater
Excited? That was an understatement! Going to see Phoenix live in concert at the San Diego State Open Air Theater!!! Yay!!
Phoenix started as a little obsession about 2 years ago. Definitely before 1901 came out. I was trying to find a house song that was often played at Baby Rock in Tijuana like 8 years ago, back in the day when you could still go down there. "I can try, I can try, I can try, I can try, I can try...." and it just repeated over and over in my head. So I finally found the song that haunted my mind for so long... If I Ever Feel Better, only it was a remix so it sounded nothing like the original. After I was introduced to the original I found myself hooked on the infectious happy melody of Thomas Mars' vocals. On top of that, I have always been drawn to French culture. And that is how my obsession with Phoenix became. I also found out during my research that Thomas Mars has a child with Sofia Copola and Laurent Brancowitz, the guitarist of the band, played briefly with the members of Daft Punk!! I say it's good to know people eh!
Phoenix climbed their way to the top of the charts in my heart until I said...I MUST SEE THEM LIVE!!! I looked for concert dates to find they were all sold out all over the country and in Europe with no plans of coming to San Diego. So you can imagine when I opened up the SD Reader and saw they were coming, I clipped out the little squared ad that read Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and put it on my fridge!!
So...yes, yes, yes, I was excited yesterday all day!! Their sound was amazing!! Very crisp and clear like you hear it on their CD only it had the little bit of the echo you get when playing in an arena but of course that's the beauty of it right!! It was nice. I was up far on top so couldn't see too well unfortunately but they played all the songs I wanted to hear and more. If I Ever Feel Better, Love For Granted, Lisztomania, Fences, Armstice, Girlfriend..
Last night was great company, great music, great night.
