The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner
Belle & Sebastian played to a packed Commodore crowd last night.
Opening the evening was Rose Melberg. She played an acoustic set and was accompanied by another female vocalist during some songs. It's hard enough opening a show to a restless and talkative crowd, let alone playing an opening acoustic set. Still, her songs were pretty and very enjoyable. I really liked her vocals and the harmonies with the backing singer. Her set lasted 40 mins.
Belle & Sebastian took the stage to a receptive audience and opened the evening with The Stars of Track and Field. They followed that with a strong performance of Another Sunny Day. The Glascow, Scotland band is currently on tour in support of their latest release, The Life Pursuit.
Their show was filled with great lighting and strong harmonies between Stuart, Stevie, and Sarah. Stuart mentioned how the band had some difficulties crossing over the U.S. boarder for the performance, before launching into a cover of Madonna's Borderline.
During Your Cover's Blown, he climbed on top of the side speakers and sang the rest of the song up against the Commodore ceiling. For If You're Feeling Sinister, Stuart had the guys kneel down on the floor so that the girls could have a clear view of the stage for at least one song.
Some other highlights during the 1hr 50min set included Women's Realm, Electronic Renaissance, The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner, White Collar Boy, and I'm a Cuckoo.
