The band was very forgiving during a technical challenge involving the venue’s PA. Thinking that the delay would reduce their performance time Adrianne announced that there would only be 45 minutes of the set they could play due to curfew. Good news came immediately when the venue took the hit and extended time for the full set. So many highlights. I had always heard that Big Thief were phenomenal performers and I wholeheartedly agree. Excellent sampling of “Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You”. including “Simulation Swarm”. “Not” was a tremendous crowd pleaser and I really started to believe that Adrianne was one with the guitar. The sound quality and mix were brilliant allowing the subtlety of the high hat touches to resonate as much as the high volume guitar solos. Mildly Disappointed that they didn’t play “Shark Smile”, but what they shared more than made up for the absence.

Very intimate yet so powerful, the group was a blast and rocked out!

Big thief is a band that I can not put into words. My first show was at Union Transfer in Philly and ever since then, I've never been able to hear music as articulately and beautiful as how these people make sounds
