Last night I was fortunate enough to see my idol at the legendary Radio City Music Hall and experience an absolutely amazing show! This is the second time I've seen Robyn; the first time I saw her, I was awestruck by her performance. I was curious to see how this past show would compare but, I was blown away by her energy and the over-all experience of her set.
I was not thrilled by the first act, Natalia Kills. Her performance was forced and the songs were poor attempts to imitate Lady Gaga. Diamond Rings, on the other hand, was a lot of fun. He had decent tunes which included his gorgeous singing and performance on at least one instrument as samplers banged out his backing instrumentation. Sure it was a little awkward but one-person sampler based acts tend to be. His set reminded me of another opening act, Dan Black, from the first concert of Robyn's that I saw this past July.
Robyn's set, of course, rocked and got the entire hall up and out of their seats, dancing the rest of the night. Robyn delivers the best live, electronic performance that I've ever experienced. Two live drummers with real drums and midi pads and two synth masters, each with their own cage, complete with multiple synths and a laptop. My favorite songs from the night were "Dancing on My Own", "Girl and the Robot" and "Cobrastyle". The place went wild for "Cobrastyle", especially at the end which included a crazy synth solo. The song even got a mini encore with more drums and energy than I've ever seen from Robyn and her band! From 90's hit to current chart-topping tunes, Robyn delivered hardcore with two encores and finishing with her biggest hit yet: "Show Me Love". Can't wait for the next chance to see the most kilingest pop star on the planet!
