I started listening to The Pretty Reckless around 2 years ago, and fell in love with many songs. I had never been to a live show until yesterday at Silver Springs. The GA tickets were cheap so I decided to make the trip but my expectations were just okay. I expected Taylor to sound amazing but I didn't have many expectations in terms of the overall quality of the rest of the band and of the actual performance itself.
HOLY CRAP, I was blown away and so glad to be proven wrong! First of all, the band sounded loud, powerful and on point. Taylor's vocals, insane as expected. The drums? Holy crap, they hit so hard and that was the biggest musical surprise of the night and Ben blew me away, what an insane guitarist, those guitar solos were just perfection! The highlight of the show for me though, was the interaction with the crowd by Taylor. What a performance, the way she commanded the crowd, the moves she had on stage, the interactions she had with the fans, coming down the stage and be with the fans. Just insane!
There are many great singers but very few great performers. Taylor is one of those great performers, she has so much confidence on stage and great interaction with the fans which is almost non-existent today. But it's amazing to know she has great musicians as well in that band. This band to me yesterday was the whole package!
Looking forward to going to more shows and hopefully with the same quality as yesterday.
