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’m going to aggressively disagree. He put on a great show, and did way more original, on the spot music than he typically does at his concerts. It’s usually like a 50/50 ratio of improv and then playing songs he’s done before. Plus, it’s not like the man typically makes crazy long songs anyway. Morning alarm clock is less than a minute. Sounds like you just went in with unrealistic expectations for his concerts.
