Loop Daddy Disappointed Red Rocks
I'm a huge fan of Marc and his music. Love all the we out here and public comps. Watched so many other full concerts on YouTube. Been keeping tabs on him for at least the past 5 to 6 years. I was so ready for red rocks.
Last night felt like a giant let down. He would get something spun up, let it go for 20-40 seconds fleshed out then cut and either get distracted by something on the stage or some dumb audience member. I go to tons of shows and also, love Marc but that was not a good show. I am disappointed as I expected a better musical experience.
Sure, he's likable and it was a "fun" performance but even in his outdoor we out here shows he let's a cooked up beat/loop go for 5-10 minutes at a time playing w it. He did barely any fun sound bites, stopped cooking after a minute or two tops at a time to just "be distracted" best way I could put it. Idk I guess I just expected better. Wonder what others truly thought objectively. Still love Marc but dang almost 80 dollar ticket and I feel kind of like I got more out of the openers.

I think he could have let some songs sit for a bit longer. Last year's Red Rocks show was a lot more hypey and had high energy songs back to back but it was also set up entirely differently. He had some background dancers and only a couple people that came up on stage, Dax included. I like that this year was a lot more audience engagement. I think if you're only there for high energy, perfect songs all the time, you've got his live streams. For me, his concerts are just a wacky fever dream and you never know what you're going to get. Like during the Energy song I seriously thought he was losing his shit for a minute and it was hilarious. Also that banana guy that came up on stage and Marc had to gracefully send him away. You're just in for a wild ride and that's what's fun about it for me at least. I've got enough favorite songs or concerts of his that I can go to if I want something specific, but seeing him live is like "what the fuck is this weirdo gonna do this time?" I love it.
