James Blake at 9:30 Club, Washington DC What a show. The best...

James Blake at 9:30 Club, Washington DC

What a show. The best show I’ve ever seen by far. James said our show was like a recital and that it was cool. I think thats because the DC crowd (mainly all students) is so intelligent and reverent. The venue also demanded it because the sound was so incredible. I’ve neer experienced a better sound system than in 9:30 club. It was everything.

And James was such a musician throughout. One of my favorite moments was the improvisatory section he had at the end of Limit to Your Love. He was in the music completely and he took me with me. He really personally revealed himself through his music and it was dark and shimmering at the same time.

Another incredible moment was CMYK. I’ve never seen a crowd react to primally to music. People were flailing around it was incredible. What James did with this song is genius. He took it and blew it up in this incredible soundscape.

His setlist choice was the perfect mix of new and old, I was super excited to hear every song he chose.

The lights were also incredible. When I saw James in May 2011 in Philly it was in a church basement with no lighting. Now it was a full on production in 9:30 and the lighting enhanced the music so well. “Were going to the last” with the bright white light brought tears to my eyes. Most of the time when I was watching I just couldn’t believe how in place and how perfect( in the human spontaneous sense of perfection) everything sounded.

I know I’m a big fan and am probably biased but James Blake, in this show, absolutely stood up to the great classical concerts that I’ve seen of some of the greatest musicians in the world, Gil Shaham, Andre Watts, The Philadelphia Orchestra, Madama Butterfly at the Metropolitan Opera, Meredith Monk. His music stood up to some of the greatest composers in the world. While I don’t think his music is “classical” per say I think that James Blake is one of the more innovative and talented new music makers. He understands the possibilities of electronic music. He understands how to make music that speaks to people in an immediate way. He understands how to be vulnerable on stage.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget this show, incredible work.
