I’ve
already raved about the greatness that is the War on Drugs, so I
won’t repeat that (actually that’s a promise I can’t keep - .
But I did mention that the only letdown at their Harvest set was the
fact the crowd wasn’t that into it. That wasn’t a problem at the
Northcote Social Club – the band had sold out the venue (I’ve
never seen it so full) and the crowd were strangely intense and
focussed. The band repaid this with a set drawing from both their
albums, and finishing up with a 12 minute version of A Needle in Your
Eye #16 (sometimes drawing out songs like this can just result in a
boring meandering, but the band are pretty adept at hypnotic jamming
when the mood takes them). Some people might have been disappointed
by the fact there wasn’t an encore, but the two songs listed for
the encore ended up being played in the main set, and really, the
band probably couldn’t have done much to top the way they ended
their set anyway.
There’s
a little bit of distortion in the recording, but not much (the band
were really really loud). Likewise, there’s a tiny bit of talking
through bits of it, but not much. This was an amazing show; I’m
hoping they make a return trip next year.
