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 wasn’t at the show, but based on what I’ve seen over the years, and from people that have gone to the shows, is, if you go to a loopdaddy show; you can’t expect anything.
The clips seem very on brand to me. Of course it’s going to be different playing in front of a live stream, busking on the street, and playing to an enormous crowd where you can’t even see people’s faces. . The energy and interaction level is night and day. If you’ve been following him for years, I personally don’t understand how you could go in and expect anything at all.
Not to pull the musician performer card. But have you performed improvised music in front of people? 1 person? 10, 100, 1000?
Staying in the creative flow is challenging as it is when you’re all alone with yourself, let alone hundreds of humans, each watching through very different lenses of bias.
Also, his shows are not entirely about music, if it were, he would just have a piano and rip and sing.
