Thievery Corporation Bend Concert reviews
Thought I was a Jackson Browne fan
"Go to see this tour if you're the person that likes the obscure songs on an album or in a catalogue to prove the depth of your commitment to an artist. Mr. Thievery Corporation was stingy with the great old songs, while forcing us to listen to lots and lots of newer unmemorable tunes. The musicianship is excellent, that band is tight. At one point, Mr. Thievery Corporation joked about naming the band "Embarrassment of Riches band". Many people left early, and others were noticed sleeping until he finally played a great song. I once saw Bob Dylan play a show where he came out an hour late, was piss drunk, broke his strings, forgot the lyrics, and left halfway through the show. What a pity to squander those riches and the goodwill of his loyal fans on a set list that pleased only Mr. Thievery Corporation. It's true, I love live music! After the hundreds of shows I've seen in my life, this is in the bottom five. I'd actually like a refund because I feel cheated. And that was a better show than Jackson Browne's last night. Don't get me wrong, if you are hoping to hear the great songs, you will be disappointed."
