Let me just say there was an awkward feel to it.It seemed very business like (not the performance itself, but everything around and behind it).I met a few peeps and there was an attitude to them that i never seen before at a Damien gig and didn't like it at all. (these people weren't from the crew)
I don't have any problem getting big and i don't agree that someone like Damien has to do stadium gigs cause otherwise he would struggle to make a living out of record sales.I can say for sure Damien is not struggling and hasn't been struggling for a while now, which is good.It was more of a choice to go down on this road (whether it was his idea or the management's, obviously simplier and cost friendlier than playing two-three smaller gigs in one place) I am just concerned where it will lead cause he is a genuinely independent minded fella but there is a big chance that the whole gigging and his own enthusiasm about performing and communicating with the fans will turn into a routine and gets scrumbled up in this big machinery.And he was never about that before so it would be sad to see that happening, which i think will eventually if he sticks to these big arena gigs.It will suck him in slowly.
