Last Saturday Mary and I headed to the Cedar Cultural Center to spend the evening with the Fleet Foxes. I was pretty excited to see the Fleet Foxes in such an intimate venue. The last show we say there was Ryan Adams which is towards the top of my all time favorite shows. But the Cedar failed me this time around. For some reason they decided not to do seating at this show and it was incredible hot inside the venue.
But as for the Fleet Foxes…amazing. I was a little leery how well their harmonies would come across live but from the first note of the show I was stunned. They started with an acapella tune and their four voices were angelic. The band was very engaging of the audience and asked questions they seemed generally interested in hearing the answers too, like “Do you have a zoo here?” Which ended up with them deciding next time they come to town they want to play the zoo. Every song they played was extremly tight. When the show was over I was reminded why I love music as much as I do.
So in conclusion, I would see the Fleet Foxes again in a heartbeat, but probably not at the Cedar (maybe if they had seating).
