Review: The Queens Hall was a nice, intimate venue for Low and the crowd
was very quiet, except for when Alan asked for help singing, clapping,
etc.
The band opened with Amazing Grace and this set the tone for the night
brilliantly. All three were on top form with Mimi singing Below & Above
being a particular highlight. Canada was also great and The Lamb was
extremely intense, but really the whole show was fantastic.
This was my first Low gig and I was really impressed at how engaged Low
were with both the music and the audience. Alan was having some good
banter with the crowd and didn't seem phased when he forgot the words to
Fearless.
Some people find Low 'boring' or 'depressing' but for me they make music
to think about, with the main message being one of warmth and hope. Like
with people, you sometimes just have to look a bit deeper to find the
beauty.
This was a top concert and I hope they come back soon.
