well said i mean the fact that i made sure i was on ticketbastard at 11.59 when to get tickets for the last gig must point to the fact that i and the others who went have a genuine interest and appreciation for the performer |

when i say i cringed at the over done stunts and rehearsed stories im not slating damo or the actual performance more an aspect of it..i know some sort of a routine will build up when gigging an album like he has been for so long i cringed beacause for me it took away what maybe i stupidly believed to the element of spontaneity in his performance...i know he's not super human |

sorry, but i dont get this - what's DRM? and is there an official policy of not allowing tapers at DR gigs? (where did you hear this, melissa?) a joke - for real? or as in: "we don't care about that policy"? archive.org? when i try to get to that page i get a site with choran quotes. do you mean the archive part of damienricetrading.org? and why did you ask melissa is she'd seen a recording go up there? [img]smileys/smiley29.gif[/img]sorry about all my silly questions, but i'm really curious to know what this is about...

Criticism is only worthy based on motive. While some people choose to critique based on being obnoxious and hurtful, I think some of us choose to do so because we think that Damien has much more talent than he currently showing. Quote:

I dont think i would view myself as someone who has posted any "</span>adoring-fanatic-damien could do no wrong</span>" posts. I welcome your critisims, and totally accept that yours are based on motive. But as such, you should expect to get some contrary opinions to yours. I appreciate everything you said, and can accept that his performance is ageing, (but not really that Damien is acting </span>pretentious</span></span>....although im not sure it was you that said that), and that you have reservations about seeing him until the act is refreshed. And i myself felt similar after the gig in Vicar St. in Feburary (but that gig was ruined by the crowd though) But i really think that in this particaular case (i.e. Vicar St. May 31st), that the performance was excellent. And not deserving of this </span></span>disapproval</span>. </span></span></span> Quote:

Because he was doing the spaceship thing with the pedals or whatever he uses, doesnt he need to kneel down to get to them with his hands???

And finally, yes, the "I love Damien" posts are just as meaningless as the "I hate Damien" posts. The only difference is, I can understand the "I love Damien" posters being here, the "I hates" maybe should be spending their time somewhere else!

theres no need to get offensive in posts but i will reply anyways: ive been in 2 ways about damien for some time as i havent enjoy the gigs as much as i used to. it really started at witnness when i got terrible vibes from the gig. He came out and i just thought "what the hell is this" and really didnt enjoy it then the feeling somewhat stuck at his live gigs for me... so i was always in 2 ways about going to his gig or not/if id enjoy it as much or not i said i wanted to go to the last gig. AND I DID. but i was broke so i didnt go... Just because i complain about him as a live performer doesnt mean i dont want to see him... I wont give my views in future if they are negative as it seems people only want to hear damiens positives and praise him constantly...

yes i agree i sounded hypocritical but the one thing i didnt want was to turn this into an argument... i kinda wanted to go to this gig moreso because it was less of a hype and less of a commercial gig. Also - I just wish he wouldnt stick to playing Vicar street constantly... apart from me not liking the place too much i think he is too well used to it now and maybe he should try going back to the olympia where (i feel) the vibe of the place is much better

Hey guys
I'm listening to Damo live at the Beacon THeatre (5/3/04) and he is doing the "Amie" story and it is so different to other versions he has done, i think Damo is one of those performers who hates doing the same thing on tour, he obviously really feels that he wants to change the set?! |

It's nice and all to have a certain amount of interaction with the audience. I've seen him live about ten times and he often takes requests for encores and things like that. But when it comes down to it, we go to see a MUSICIAN. If him not telling stories before every song means we hear more songs, then all the better.Edited by: *Kat

Not what I was sayin, but he's never said nothing at any gig I've been to and I've never felt he owed it to any audiencew i've been in to say more. Maybe i've just been lucky in the gigs I've been at.

when you go to a live performance you dont want to go like your the spectator and its like listening to a cd of him. You want him to interact and thats something damien isnt the best at with live audiences in my experiences... Tom Mcrae & Mark Geary are probably the 2 best gigs i was at where it made me understand the artist much more and the 2 of them really should be part time comedians, they entertained me and got me laughing and thats what i want at a live performance... im not saying damien should do handstands to entertain us but a bit more interaction nowadays would be nice as the last few ive seen he has barely said too much which is dissapointing

I dont think that its an essential part of the performance. Some artists do it, some dont. I dont expect it, and am never bothered it they dont. </span> Edited by: daol20

Has anybody considered that perhaps Damien grows tired of the stories after a while also??
