Great Big Sea show


Went to a great show tonight at the Paramount Theatre in Denver. Great Big Sea (a band from Newfoundland) played, and I got to see them again for the first time in a couple years. Great show! It was the first time I've been to the Paramount and I really enjoyed it. It's a great old style theatre and had a nice ambiance for the concert.

The show in itself was incredible. They just put out a new album called "The Hard and the Easy" a CD of traditional Newfoundland folk tunes. The first set was mainly off of their new CD, and then their second set was more rock tunes from all of their other CDs. If you haven't heard of Great Big Sea you should definitely check them out. Their vocals are incredible and they blend really well together. They came back
for two different encores, the second one they all started at the front of the stage & told the audience to be quiet, and then did an acapella song (I think it was called Mr. Brown's Daughter) with no microphones or anything. Really cool.

Anyway - it was a great show, great venue & we had great seats. The next time their back in our neck of the woods you should definitely check them out.
