My Brightest Diamond @ Lincoln Hall, Chicago November 13, 2014 My Brightest Diamond’s Shara Wo
My Brightest Diamond @ Lincoln Hall, Chicago November 13, 2014 My Brightest Diamond’s Shara Worden told me before the show she wanted to serve as a sort of a shaman for the audience, a mystical guide connecting us, the listeners, to this magical place where the music exists. From the very first moments, when a marching band stationed on the balcony, soon marching their way onstage, until the very soft, subtle end, Worden performed this role flawlessly. Of course, the pomp and show and stage was full in the beginning, as a full marching band weaved its way through the crowd, stopping onstage to join her in performing “Pressure,” but the best part, the meat of the show came with just Shara on a keyboard, a guitarist and a drummer calmly revealing the music to us. We reached that mystic place, indeed. // Kati Heng -- source link
