MP3: Passion Pit – To Kingdom Come (Grum Vocal Mix)

Our fabulous guest blogger, Kenya L. Jones, reports on Saturday night’s gig! It was a great set up at Rumsey Playfield. There were tons of kids there. Food, drinks and a massive merch stand. The two bands were perfect together; a truly exceptional match. Boston’s Passion Pit opened, tossing out tunes from their LP, Manners. The set was simple and easy; the crowd giving as good as they got. Front man, Michael Angelakos, even commented on how it (the second of two sold out performances) was a bit livelier than the first night. Everybody reacted well to gems “Sleepyhead”, “The Reeling” & “Cuddle Fuddle”. They also really went nuts for “Little Secrets”, singing enthusiastically along with Michael. The band sounded very good, not a blip or a peep unintended (so far as I could tell) and their energy level was contagious. Breezing through “Til Kingdom Come”, “Better Things” & “I’ve Got Your Number” without a hitch amidst much fanfare. It left everybody a bit warmer for the relatively short wait for Phoenix on the cool fall night.

Phoenix’s set had a bit more ‘show’ to it, in that their album art held court over the drum kit with lit LCD lined panels and flashing lights dancing around to illuminate the Frenchmen. They stepped on stage bathed in silhouette and stood in a line for a beat. Then they kicked into “Lisztomania”. From there, it was smooth sailing through “If I Ever Feel Better” (off United) as well as “Run Run Run” and “Everything Is Everything” (off Alphabetical) along with what’s most familiar to the Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix fans – including 1 (or 2, I guess) of my faves: “Love Like A Sunset” (parts 1 & 2).
