Highline Ballroom, Manhattan (Wednesday)
1st concert (27th June); Today we know it’s going to be a bit of a weak day with the audience, other really big concerts are happening in town and it’s also a bad day, it’s wednesday.
We start late, the Highline boss tells us it’s anounced an hour later by mistake at some places, so we have to start at 9. Our surprise is when we step on stage and we see it’s nearly full, much more than we thought. The best is that the people who came are really there as their first choice, so we get a really incredible and strong feedback. Some problems with the room acoustics that make it sound too strong on the high pitch, but the concert starts really nice and smooth, and even though we go down a little on the 5th o 6th song because of the stage sound, the audience makes us get the feeling and we end up the show with our usual tremendous power.

I had never heard of ODB until 8 o’clock Thursday evening and when I joined my friends to jump up and check you guys out , it was totally spur of the moment. Suffice 2 say I have not had a rush from seeing any type of live performance for months or even years and I live in NYC and am not so easily exited about nothing, u dig? I was entranced. All of you are amazing at what they do, the amount of interaction on a musical and spiritual level comes across completely effortless which makes ODB feel like a family which immediately includes any audience member who has a heart and a libido. And ears I guess.
Did I mention that the show lasted about 3 hours? That’s love.
The afterparty was a blast too of course. Hope to see you next time you are in NYC.
Thanks Again
