donbellamy Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Go Crown! probably my favorite show of the year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tsar Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I've seen PR several times (like 7 or 8 times) live this season. It's there, so I'll review the show and pm what I find...from one designer to another.(Blast you English language! Get trigger happy and accidentally add another letter to a word and you don't just misspell, you change the entire meaning!) Bwahahaha! The spelling (or would it be context?) police strike again!

dstoleson Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Wow. That was about the most boring show I've seen fro mthe Cavies in years! Just can't get into this one at all. Oh well, I'll probably love it live, but for now, just not translating on video -- maybe I should have watched the overhead cam. Really? Boring? Like Billy Joel boring?

luvs me sum mello! Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I've said it all season: Crown's show is like a guy who has an ipod full of great classical music and no patience. This feeds into my "as long as the crowd recognizes the music they will overlook flaws" theory.* *Also see 2007 closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artlady Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Musically, the Cavies show still strikes me as "The Machine Part II, Now With Ninjas". But they certainly brought the performance levels tonight. I could believe that they beat BD. Although I'm not normally a percussion guy, I do like the overall writing between their battery and pit this year. In many ways, that seems to me to be the musical strength of the show. The brass comes across as somewhat incidental to the musical effect. Big help that Erik Johnson came back. He was the glue that held them together I believe!

cmathis Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Crown's sets are pretty clean, but the transitions could be cleaner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
