VNV Nation Fort Lauderdale Concert reviews
Smoke @ Beacon
Southern Rock at its finest. The Beacon is a stunning theater reminiscent of the 1920s movie theaters. Blackberrys always delight with their songs seamlessly transitioning into another, such as Zep's "Your Time Is Gonna Come." In their early days, they must have excelled as a cover band before crafting many original tunes. The last time I caught them, they performed Sabbath's "Fairies wear Boots" - I almost thought it was Tony on lead guitar... The set felt a bit brief, would have liked to hear a few more tracks like "Shake your Magnolia" and "Sunrise in Texas." Nonetheless, the show was fantastic. Ah, gone are the days of attending VNV Nation concerts alongside just a few hundred people - a loss for me, but a win for them.
