Big Country And The Other 80's Bands Were Outstanding ! But The Venue "The Microsoft Theater" Sucks As A Place To Enjoy A Concert ! The Sound Acoustics Are Good But The Seating Stinks To High Heaven. 90% Of The Theater Is Orchestra Seating (On The Floor) You Pretty Much Have To Stand For 95% Of The Concert Or Watch The Bands On The TV Screens If You Can See Them (You Might As Well Be At Home) Microsoft Theater Is A Place To See A Stage Play, Not A Concert. Anyone With Mobility Issues Do Not Go Here To Enjoy A Concert Unless You Can Stand For Long Periods Of Time.
Well, I wasn't expecting that!
Fact is, I expected the audience to be of a certain age, and to bob their heads and sing along politely. Because, well, this is a band from the 80s. And I was at least partially right. Plenty of folks in their 40s and 50s. As am I. The band, too. That said, I've been to a bunch of shows by punk bands from the 90s recently with equally ageing audiences, and you couldn't cattle-prod the punters into starting a mosh pit. So what I really wasn't expecting was that the crowd watching Big Country would turn into the biggest, greatest mosh pit I've seen in years. It was glorious. Big Country fans are hardcore.
The band was great. The set-list, not bad. My only complaint is that the encore was...well, strange. They went off stage, we cheered and chanted and they came back...and played a song that clearly only about a third of the audience was familiar with. I thought, "Well, obviously they're going to do a couple of songs, because it would be crazy to end the night on this song that isn't one of their big ones." But no. Strangely, they then turned up the lights, did a long band introduction (is it still an introduction if it's at the end?) and trooped off the stage. Odd, and disappointing.
But other than that, a hell of a show! Just play 13 Valleys next time, boys. ;)
The band has lost none of the enthusiasm for gigging over the years. They put on a full throttle performance and included the big hits performed faithfuly to the originals.
Quite honestly I would highly recommend seeing Big Country, I had not seen them as the original line up so cannot make any comparison but my friends had seen them back in the day and they all enjoyed seeing this current line up.
So don't hesitate and go and enjoy the upcoming Big Country gigs. I'll deffinately be looking out for them in future.
