Lights At Live Shows

[Headache]

What does everyone think of the lights at Matts shows?

 

I've been to two Matt Good shows. Both at somewhat small venues and I think the his light shows are above average for most shows played in places that size.

yea they really add to the show. I'm a sucker for hollywooding shows

[Muran]

At his acoustic show in Vancouver they kept blinding me O.o

[glorifiedjam]

I had that issue too at one of the acoustic shows but for the most part the lights @ the shows are fun.

[nerd glasses]

I think they can be a bit over the top sometimes. I, too, was blinded by lights during shows, naturally on the WLRRRevue, and at the acoustic show I had the unfortunation of being right in line with that small spotlight at the back of the stage. I happen to be one of those light sensitive types so it can get pretty aggravating. Not to say the lighting's not well done, but the distraction/annoyance level can get high when you're in the first few rows.

Yeah, we were near the front and the giant spotlight thing behind Matthew was in my eyes most of the night.

When I saw Matt perform in Vernon in November 2005 the lights were very bright and mostly white, looked like headlights. It was a bit painful at times and hard to look straight at the stage. I think it was somewhat appropriate for White Lights and Rock n'roll review though.

At the Victoria Acoustic show the lights were awesome, a lot of cool colours, although the fog (which makes the lights look so cool) makes it harder to get good pics.

I liked how he's used nothing but white lights and a few strobes during the last few tours. Much more moving and powerful than a bunch of fancy colors.

i liked his light shows from the shows i have been too, but one spotlight at Arizona's kept blinding me

in calgary i always thiought they were pretty good. during weapon is my fave.

[TheSubliminalKid]

Almost every non acoustic Matt Good show I've been to have had those really cool landing pad spotlights (like in the Weapon video) that always blind me or induce siezures. I always thought they were pretty awesome.

i heart seizures

[saturnine]

light shows are pretty pointless.

[Headache]

I also was blinded by the lights at the acoustic shows. They still were a nice touch though.

Blinded by the light,

revved up like a deuce,

another runner in the night

Madman drummers bummers,

Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat

In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat

With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,

I tripped the merry-go-round

With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,

the calliope crashed to the ground

The calliope crashed to the ground

But she was...

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes

She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,

play the song with the funky break"

And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside

And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride

Asked me if I needed a ride

But she was...

Blinded by the light,

revved up like a deuce,

another runner in the night

Blinded by the light

She got down but she never got tired

She's gonna make it through the night

She's gonna make it through the night

But mama, that's where the fun is

But mama, that's where the fun is

Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun

But mama, that's where the fun is

Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east

Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,

that's where they expect it least"

And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,

watching the young girls dance

And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance

The calliope crashed to the ground

But she was...

Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand

And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes

She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"

[Headache]

I used to think it said 'Wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night'

[Shakakahn]
