David Gray - Webster Hall


David Gray was at Webster Hall last night to promote his new album, Life in Slow Motion. The hall only holds about 500 people which made for an intimate concert. I was fortunate to have a great view from the front row to see one of my favorite modern musicians. pics

The band was great and the show was very entertaining. The new album seems like a step back towards White Ladder. His last release, A New Day at Midnight, was more electronic and not as much of a hit. I'm glad to see the new record revert to the old David Gray we know and love. My only complaint about the show, which was expected, is that he played almost all new songs. Only about four songs were recognized by the audience, all others being unreleased. Regardless, it was a good show.

In my quest to enjoy every sandwich, I got to work today and noticed that he will be playing two shows in October at Radio City. The presale began two minutes later, and fifteen minutes after that I had purchased two tickets for each night. Unbelievable Alex. I just saw him last night and I can't afford to pay for another show, let alone two. I am an idiot. Hopefully I can get rid of two if not all four. Lemme know if you want to go see him, I really recommend it.
