Row N, Seats 301-302 – left-hand section, 13 rows back, on
the aisle. Sightlines and sound were both excellent.
It’s been over four years since the
last time we saw SNC, but the ensemble certainly hasn’t lost its touch. I’m
surprised they’ve never put out a live DVD – while I enjoy listening to the one
CD of theirs that I own, you miss a lot without the choreography, background
screen imagery, and general craziness of their live shows. As usual, their
musical timeline was quite long, going as far back as Sam Cooke’s “Twistin’ The
Night Away” and extending all the way up to Dua Lipa’s “Levitating”, which
still gets plenty of airplay on Top 40 radio stations. It was a particularly
big evening for Bill Withers fans, as their first set included both “Lovely Day”
and a medley of “Use Me” and “Ain’t No Sunshine”. I even enjoyed their take on
a couple of songs (“Fix You” and “Shut Up and Dance”) that I don’t especially
like.
Highlights:
Movie Theme Medley (just prior to intermission)
Proud Mary (just after intermission)
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Lovely Day
Closing Time (their current mic-free encore)
