…with Nick Lowe…double bill, but Nick was more the 50 min set opener…
Very fun, his set…my favorite part was the song that referenced “Rick Astley” who had a hit that was kind of “ghastly” lmao…the crowd, a bunch of latter day gen Xers, etc…totally got the reference.
Perhaps the oddest thing about the show this night, was the seated crowd. All the way up to the stage…seated the entire time, less the standing ovation for the end of Nick’s set, and I am sure later for Aimee’s headlining set…not sure, as I am prone to most often, I left after I got my shots of her…
Aimee started off saying she would sing a few songs, I presume off her new CD, Smilers, that she really wanted to sing for us, then she would take requests for the rest of the night…if it hadn’t been a weekday, and I wasn’t so tired, I would have stayed…as is, I have no idea if she did “voices carry”, but that is the one song from my youth, I most remember her for…as she led the then ‘Til Tuesday in this new wave 80’s hit…
One other thing I will say, her hair is now a nice lovely flowing flaxen with slight wave…no longer spikey to all ends as was the new wave stylings! In fact, this night Aimee was even wearing glasses, which wigged me out a little in my pursuit of images…all the photos I had seen of her in my research were sans spectacles…they presented a challenge, but I think I found my way through the looking glass, as it were…
Here are a few of the images from the night…first, a selection on LiveDaily.com (note the BRAND new site design – Kudos to LD!) http://www.livedaily.com/photos/?p=Moore+Theatre%2C+October+7%2C+2009
