I enjoyed the stage as well. Sorry though, they just don't do it for me. Then again, neither do Radiohead. I guess I'm weird.

Sammy:

Thanks!

I did get a few pictures of the set as I left. From where I was standing I never really saw it head on, so I didn't feel comfortable talking about it.

I did notice, however, that the stage lights were handled by actual people and not remote controlled, which I haven't seen in ages.

Amanda Blank was trying to be a lot of things. Sadly, "of interest to me" was not one of them.

Love your review! I have to say that it's been a long time since I've seen a band have a bit of set design. Loved their backdrop and their mystery eye prop, the timed bursts of confetti and the light setup. Karen O was great, such an amazing performer. So much energy, very cool voice. Did you notice that Amanda Blank was trying to be a mini Karen O? Nice try, but no cigar. Not even a Colts.
