I’d missed the first two songs by opening act Wild Rivers, but Already Gone was a gorgeous introduction to the band. I’m telling you how much I love this venue knowing full well that I’ll rake them over the coals in a few paragraphs, because as always, it pains me to see something done half-assed that, had it been done right, would have made a mediocre experience incredible.Īt that moment, though, I was happy. I love it here: the sound quality is awesome, the size of the room is perfect for most bands I’d like to see, and some of the best restaurants in the city are across the street (and open late). I helped run an event at their venue the week before, and it feels good to be back. They’re a tough crowd, and the reason I’m a few minutes late to the show.Īs I walk into the Corona Theatre, I’m warmly greeted by the security team. I know the one song we all know, and in the days leading up to the concert, I’m attempting to educate myself, switching back and forth on Spotify from The Paper Kites to the playlist I’m working on for the teenage boys I teach on Monday evenings. I love live shows, and giving my opinion, and background music when I’m teaching yoga this is why, months ago, I requested this concert for review. I’m going to start by saying that I am not a fan of The Paper Kites.
