Great review of the DC show at 9:30 Club. Thanks. Request: Please include the names of the rest of the band- just to give a complete review of the event and to give them their props.
I totally agree with you, Casey, the show was fantastic. One of the best I have seen in a venue of this size. Annie Clark and her violinist (and guitarist/keyboards), Daniel Hart, were superb.
I was particularly impressed with the lighting guy (what’s his name?). His coordination with the drums on one of the pieces was so spot on that I was sure the lights were running on a program or were electronically connected to the drum system. I learned after the show that it was all just about how well St Vincent’s lighting guy knows the music- amazing. Shows he is really part of the band just as much as any of the instrumentalists.
You could tell how good the sound system was at the 9:30 club by the fact that you could actually hear the violin and flute really well. Usually, instruments like that get overwhelmed by the guitar and drums. Since you could hear Daniel Hart and the guy on flute (what’s his name?) so well, you could really appreciate how crucial the two instruments were to the sound of the songs on which they played. The violin, in particular, was really sublime.

“‘These Days’ was written by Jackson Browne. Nico may have made it beautiful, but it shouldn’t be solely attributed to her.”

You’re right to note that, although St. Vincent specifically cited Nico that night. Thanks for commenting.
